List of Mississippi State Bulldogs football seasons

This is a list of seasons completed by the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team. Representing Mississippi State University, the Bulldogs compete in the Southeastern Conference West Division in the NCAA Division I FBS. Since 1914, Mississippi State has played its home games out of 61,337-seat Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi. Initially known as the Mississippi A&M Aggies, the program began play in 1895 as an independent before joining the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association the following season. The school did not field a football program from 1897 to 1900. In 1921, Mississippi A&M joined the Southern Conference, where they competed for twelve seasons before joining the SEC where they currently reside.

Davis Wade Stadium is the second-oldest stadium in the FBS.

The Bulldogs won their first and only SEC championship in 1941, and captured a division title in 1998. As of the end of the 2017 season, Mississippi State has played in 22 bowl games, compiling a 13–10 record. They have played in a bowl game in eight consecutive seasons dating back to 2010. The team is currently led by head coach Mike Leach.

Notes

  1. All wins from 1975 to 1977 were forfeited by the NCAA, except for the 1975 victories over Memphis and North Texas State.
  2. Overtime rules were added to college football in 1996, thereby eliminating ties.
