Mississippi State Receives Votes in Latest AP Top 25 Poll

Mississippi State received votes in the Associated Press's Top 25 college football poll on Sunday following a 26-22 upset win on the road over the Texas A&M Aggies.

The Bulldogs, led by quarterback Will Rogers, defeated the Aggies by a score of 26-22 on Saturday. The victory pushed Mississippi State closer to the rankings, as the team was earned 18 votes overall. Texas A&M was knocked out of the poll but still received 41 votes.

The Southeastern Conference had seven teams place in the Top 25 this week. Alabama and Georgia stayed at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively, after both teams routed their opponents this weekend.

There were no other SEC teams ranked in the top 10. Arkansas dropped five spots to #13 after being shut out in a 37-0 loss to Georgia. Kentucky entered the Top 25 after defeating the Florida Gators. Kentucky came in at No. 16 after previously being unranked, and the Wildcats were the fourth-highest SEC school ranked on the list.

Like Arkansas, Ole Miss dropped five spots in the poll after losing to top-ranked Alabama 42-21. The Rebels had been previously ranked as high as No. 12. Moving up to No. 18 in the poll were the Auburn Tigers, who defeated LSU in Death Valley behind an impressive performance by quarterback Bo Nix.
