Moo number one
Moo is ranked number one midway through the college football season. Holy crap.

Dan Mullen and Moo. Yes, FSU will likely get back with a win over Notre Dame, but down in cooterville, this will resonate forever.

Moo!

My goodness. Dogs love cats. Spartans love Athenians. Trolls love Memphis fans. Pigs fly.

Now all they have to do is beat Alabama and Sissy, and a few others...

Congratulations.

RE: Moo number one
Moo is and the Black Bears aren't.

That has GOT to be a tough pill to swallow in Oxford.

I'd like to think the Tigers performance might have made the difference.

Our two sons graduated from Ms State and they have been back each of the last two weekends. Flew into Memphis and stayed with relatives in Tupelo. They are sky high right now and there is some big time trash talking between State and Ole Miss fans on the message boards.

In a way, I'd love to see it come down to the Egg Bowl. But there are a lot of trap games remaining for each of them.

My stepson is a MState grad as well. He suffered through a lot of bad years listening to his sisters rubbing UTK in his face. He is really enjoying this. And baby girl has a cowbell too.

RE: Moo number one
Last year Bama played poorly first part of season but kept winning. When someone suggested that someone else should be number one you heard bloody hell from SEC fans about how a defending champion if ranked #1 in preseason should remain #1 till they lose.

Now the shoe is on the other foot and suddenly that rule no longer applies. MSU may be playing the best ball but it is not proper for the top ranked team to lose that spot unless they lose. Especially to a team which was un-ranked to start the season and who jumped several unbeaten teams. Two weeks ago MSU was not in top 10. Last week they were not in top 5 in coaches poll.

Wish we still had the poll attack so we can review how each voter cast their ballot. Seems as if some have changed their vote every week to which ever SEC school was leading the SEC west that week. Still other have voted FSU down in their polls to get a mathematical advantage for MSU.

Or maybe it was because Florida State struggled a bit against a 2-4 Syracuse team while Miss State beat the no. 2 team handily.

we just beat 3 top 10 teams in a row. that's only the 5th time in the history of college football that has ever happened.

what is FSUs best win this season? Clemson? OK State?

Let us enjoy this while we have it. FSU will likely go back to #1 after they expose ND to be frauds on Saturday.

On the other hand, why is it ok for teams to jump other teams that don't lose (say a 10 jump to number 8 while number 8 and 9 both win their games each week) but it is no ok for number 1 to be jumped?

RE: Moo number one
Memphis should follow the MSU blueprint for success. Mullen spoke about it on Gameday. I'm paraphrasing...he said you can't have wins first and then the fans and support. He said you have to buy in on the front end regardless of results on the field. Fan support and university support up front and the W's will come. They've done exactly this. They had sellouts before having winning seasons.

I think Memphis has the coach, the support from the university, upgraded facilities, we just need the fans. We could be just as successful as State has become. It's unreal they have become no. 1.

I think if a team can beat three top 10 teams the way Miss St did...they DESERVE to be number 1....so the SEC can kiss it.
With the Pac12 & Big10 having down years...the SC might get more than 1 or 2 teams into the playoffs...

That is assuming the three teams actually are top 10. S Carolina was top 10 to start season and look where they are. Can you honestly say with a straight face that LSU was ever worthy of being ranked in top 10? Very decent chance that all three of the "top 10" teams they beat could be unranked or at bottom of top 25 at the end of the season.

Remaining games both Miss teams:

Mississippi State
Oct. 25 @Kentucky
Nov. 1 Arkansas
Nov. 8 UT-Martin
Nov. 15 @Alabama
Nov. 22 Vanderbilt
Nov. 29 @Mississippi

Mississippi
Oct. 18 Tennessee
Oct. 25 @LSU
Nov. 1 Auburn
Nov. 8 Presbyterian
Nov. 22 @Arkansas
Nov. 22 Mississippi State

Ole Miss has a little harder schedule. Both could be undefeated for the Egg bowl. If that is the case then the winner and the loser of the Egg Bowl might both make the playoffs.

I don't think it is a coincidence that Moo State and the Black Bears both rise to prominence just as the Southern Miss program disintegrates.

All those linemen that Southern used to get by offering more playing time have become depth at SEC schools. Out of depth rises more talent. Talented lines draw talented skill players.

I really feel for Southern. In my mind, the success of both SEC teams rides on the back of their misfortune.

I'm happy to see MSU having this kind of success. They have suffered through years of mediocrity in the Western Division of the SEC (most programs would be mediocre at best in that division).

I hope Ole Miss and Miss. St. stay unbeaten until the Egg Bowl and then MSU gives Ole Sis their most bitter defeat in school history.

That is no assumption. 3 teams were top 10 when Miss State played them. If FSU beats Notre Dame should they be put back at No. 1?

But this was based on a SEC bias in the polling. Remember in coaches poill FSU retain their same 26-31 first place votes all year and the remainder have been mostly split between who ever was leading the SEC west that week. You have not once but twice seen SEC teams jump FSU this year with out them losing due to a bias in the polling system. Reality is none of the teams were worthy of being ranked where they were at the time. SEC schools S Car and LSU have both been ranked top 10 at one time and both have been shown to be a fraud.

Realtimerpi using a mathematical formula still has MSU as only 5th in the power rankings. Unlike ESPN power rankings which is nothing more than an opinion poll of 13 ESPN "experts"
