Where Mississippi State Softball is Ranked After Week 11

Mississippi State enjoyed the weekend off from SEC action, but didn’t enjoy the latest rankings and polls released Tuesday.

The Bulldogs (30-13, 9-9 SEC) fell one spot in both the ESPN.COM/USA Softball Top 25 and USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Coaches Polls, moving from No. 17 to No. 18. They’ll have plenty of opportunities this week to impress the voters with four games on the slate.

MSU will travel to Birmingham, Ala. to face Samford (16-27, 9-6 Southern Conference) on Wednesday. The game will air on ESPN+ at 5 p.m. MSU will then travel north for a three-game series against No. 14 Missouri (35-13, 8-10 SEC). The entire series will air on SEC Network and begins Saturday at 8 p.m. followed by Game 2 on Sunday at 5 p.m. Sunday and Game 3 on Monday at 6 p.m.
