Yes, there will be another B1G vs. SEC battle in the regular season.

Unfortunately, Mississippi State and Minnesota won’t square off for another decade.

The Gophers announced on Wednesday that they lined up a home-and-home with Mississippi State in 2026 and 2027. Minnesota will host the Bulldogs on Sept. 12, 2026 and travel to Starkville on Sept. 11, 2027.
