Predicting the finishing order of each SEC football team in 2024

15. Mississippi State Bulldogs

Mississippi State is in a similar spot as Vanderbilt but brings a little more energy. First-year head coach Jeff Lebby comes over from Oklahoma, where he was the offensive coordinator. 

The Bulldogs have an uphill battle with Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Missouri, and Ole Miss on their schedule for the next two seasons. They join Vandy, receiving no breaks from the SEC office in Birmingham with their 2024 schedule. 

Lebby's revamped offense might give the Bulldogs a chance to win one or two conference games if they can pull an upset over Florida and/or Arkansas, although that looks to be a long shot at this point in Fall Camp.
