Mississippi State soccer’s team as a unanimous ranked team didn’t last very long.

After going 1-1 last week against a pair of unranked Big 12 schools, the Bulldogs fell out of the top 25 of the United Soccer Coaches Poll and fell five spots to No. 23 in the TopDrawerSoccer Women’s College Soccer National Rankings.

The Bulldogs’ next two games are against Louisiana Tech and South Alabama this week. A pair of wins likely puts Mississippi State back into the top 25 since they received the most votes of any team outside the top 25.

Here are the full rankings:
