Mississippi State lost to South Carolina in last year’s national title game, but it’s clear the Bulldogs are back with a vengeance this year, as they are undefeated and just locked up the SEC regular season title.
However, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mizzou and Georgia are also highly rated, so this year’s NCAA Tournament could be a lot of fun.
