Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott

At Football Stories, we like to wait until the season gets into October and teams start to play conference games before introducing our Top 20 but a wild first weekend of October made this year’s first one even tougher than usual. With that said, we were all over Mississippi State from the start of the season. We had the Kansas City Royals making it the World Series and we’ve got next week’s winning Power Ball numbers.
