Mississippi State has started its season 3-0, but the schedule does not get any easier moving forward. Well, that could be said about a lot of teams on the Bulldogs' schedule. It is a big week in the SEC with conference play in full swing. Let's take a look at how Mississippi State's opponents have done so far and what is ahead for each of them. Week 1: Louisiana Monroe (September 5th) Record: 0-3 Latest result: It has been a tough start to the season for the Warhawks, and last weekend may have been an all-time low, losing 38-35 to Southeastern Louisiana. Next opponent: Florida Atlantic Week 2: at Minnesota (September 12th) Record: 2-1 Latest result: Minnesota bounced back from its loss to State by beating one of its former head coaches, Joe Moorhead, and Akron 41-7.

Next opponent: South Carolina Week 7: at LSU (October 17th) Record: 2-1 Latest result: LSU slept-walked through the first half in Oxford but came alive in the second half to tie the game. However, the Tigers fell 32-24. Next opponent: Texas A&M Week 8: Oklahoma (October 24th) Record: 2-1 Latest result: Oklahoma did not inspire much confidence following their loss to Michigan, as it just squeaked by New Mexico 14-6 before heading between the hedges this weekend. Next opponent: at Georgia Week 9: at Texas (October 31st) Record: 3-0 Latest result: Texas had it on cruise control this past weekend against UTSA after its big win over Ohio State. The Longhorns won 30-6 and will head to Rocky Top this weekend. Next opponent: at Tennessee Week 10: Vanderbilt (November 7th) Record: 3-0 Latest result: It looked like it was going to be a tough loss for Vanderbilt against NC State.
