This Week in MSU Baseball: The Final Statistical Outlook

As the baseball season has drawn to a close, it's fun to look back at the season that was. Throughout the year, we chronicled the team's success and the players that built that success. Now we'd like to look at just how successful they were around the country, conference and in the history of Mississippi State's storied program.

Obviously, the Bulldogs' finishing second in the College World Series meant that they would finish number two in the country in every poll. With a good part of the lineup returning, expect next year's team to be a consensus top 10 team.

Now for the final rankings for this Bulldog team around the country and conference...
