Positional Rankings

Every publication you can think of will have their own positional rankings for the SEC. How will the Mississippi State football team fare in these?

On the offensive side, expect most people to not think much of the Bulldogs. They will be replacing the best player to ever play the position at quarterback, and the offensive line still has lots of question marks surrounding it.

On defense, the Bulldogs will rate much higher. There a re a decent number of returning starters from last season’s team, and the defensive side of the ball is loaded with talent.
