Mississippi State Reschedules Memphis | Mississippi State Bulldogs Football News

Mississippi State just pulled off a major scheduling overhaul, ditching Memphis for 2028 and pushing their next matchup back to 2034 — all part of the SEC’s new nine-game conference format that demands at least one Power Four opponent outside the league. The Bulldogs also canceled games against Southern Miss and Tulane, replacing them with Louisiana Tech. This isn’t the first time Memphis has been squeezed out — Arkansas postponed their game last year too. With SEC teams increasingly avoiding road trips against Group of Six foes, Mississippi State’s move signals a broader trend: protect home turf, prioritize big wins, and keep records intact. Historically, MSU dominates this rivalry (35-11), though Memphis got a rare win in 2021 thanks to Calvin Austin III’s dazzling performance.
