Where Does Mississippi State Baseball Stand in the 'Never Too Early' Top 25?

With good reason, expectations are high for Bulldogs baseball.

Mississippi State baseball raised the bar for the university when it won the first national title in program history -- which was also the first national title in any team sport for the Bulldogs.

Under head coach Chris Lemonis, the Bulldogs made the most of their 2021 College World Series finals appearance after 12 trips to Omaha, winning it all with a 9-0 shutout victory of Vanderbilt in the final game of the championship series.

When Baseball America released its 'Never Too Early' Top 25, MSU sat pretty at No. 4 overall, directly ahead of Stanford and right behind Arkansas.

Here's a look at the complete Top 25:

1. Texas
