Opinion Sets High Expectations for Mississippi State Football Next Year

A sports opinion about Mississippi State says the program’s reported willingness to spend almost $10 million on a player should bring high expectations next year.

The opinion argues that a 7-5 record would not be good enough and that 8-4 is the worst record that could still count as a good year. It says making the 24-team playoff is the only acceptable outcome, with no excuses for injuries or what might have happened.
