The Mississippi State football team hits the road for the last time this regular season.

The Bulldogs (5-4, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) take on No. 17 Auburn (6-3, 3-2 SEC) at 11 a.m. at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.

Mississippi State can notch its third win of the season against a team currently ranked in the College Football Playoff Top 25. A Bulldogs victory would make MSU eligible for a bowl game, which the team has accomplished every year since 2010.
