4. Mississippi State Bulldogs

Last week: Lost to Ole Miss, 31-17

Mississippi State had a college football playoff spot in their hands. Even after losing to Alabama, the Bulldogs still had a very real chance to crash the party.

But a season-ending loss to Ole Miss ended those hopes.

It was still an amazing season for Mississippi State. One that should make Bulldog fans proud.
