Mississippi State football received votes in the Coaches Poll for the second consecutive week.

Mississippi State football sits at 2-0 after a 39-17 road win over the Arizona Wildcats and will aim to continue this success as the Bulldogs face the LSU Tigers (1-1) in Baton Rouge on Saturday.

Despite MSU's success and the double-digit margins it has won its first two games by, the team remains unranked in the Coaches Poll despite receiving votes for the second consecutive week in a row.

4. Clemson

5. Michigan

Here's a look at every school that received votes:

Florida State 85; Cincinnati 80; Appalachian State 50; Air Force 48; Kansas State 46; Wisconsin 43; Marshall 40; Notre Dame 35; Mississippi State 31; Washington State 29; Houston 25; Texas Tech 24; Oregon State 24; Minnesota 23; Texas Christian 18; Auburn 16; North Carolina 10; Syracuse 7; Washington 6; UCLA 4; Iowa State 4.

It will be interesting to see how this evolves moving into Week 3.
