Mississippi State gets a week off after what has been a difficult start to the 2024 college football season which includes a loss at formerly top-rated Texas last weekend.

It's another big weekend of SEC football with five in-conference games this weekend and another team hosting a tough in-state opponent.

Who from the SEC should on upset alert this weekend?
