Confused us with Mississippi**

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

My first thought was "that should be top 5 in the conference"

correction, top 4.

The poll should list "Ben Howland" instead

We could end up playing Nova in the Charleston Classic.

UCF was bad last year but they have a new coach. I think it's certainly winnable. College of Charleston in Round 2 would be a straight up road game, so it won't be easy. Nor would Boise if we play them.

I think 9-3 is a reasonable expectation in nonconference play. We will lose at least once in Charleston, and with a young team you've gotta think we will drop one or two games we shouldn't. Lehigh isn't bad, NW State has one of the best scorers in the country, Oregon State and Georgia State are probably losable games.

So it's not a terrifying nonconference slate at all, but there are some sneaky games in there.

Jon Wilner from the San Jose Mercury News absolutely loves us. He somehow has us at #12 in the country- not even the rosiest of all fans in Starkville would have us close to that ranking.

Nice,lol.

His 12th place vote represents all of our points. In other words, he's the only guy who put us in the poll, and he inexplicably has us as 12th.

Not surprising with him being from California. Probaly became a big Howland guy. That's one thing Howland has over almost any coach MSU has ever had. Media love. And he also probably noticed that teams that recruit well go to the postseason except if they have a terrible coach which Howland is not Johnny Jones.

 

[MSUDC11]

Since you brought it up... How does Johnny Jones still have a job? People hated on Stans for underachieving, but he's got nothing on this guy.

LSU is supposed to be really bad this year, so you've got to think this is the end of the line.

He loves us for some reason. He had us 2nd in 2014 before we even played A&M and Auburn.
