LSU-Mississippi State — 14 games (2000-13): Mississippi State’s surge to its first No. 1 ranking in school history began last year with its first win over West-rival LSU since the turn of the century, and its first road win over LSU in even longer than that. During the Nick Saban and Les Miles tenures, the Bulldogs failed to even come close to competing with LSU, losing only two games in that time by single figures.

ETA: didn't see 'current', oh well

I know this wasn't what the OP was asking for, but LSU has had Mississippi State's number going back a long, long time.

Losses in 2017 (Eaux), 2014 (Miles), 1999 (Dinardo), 1991 (Curley), 1990 (Archer), one really has to go back to Stovall who went 0fer to start the 80s in 4 straight contests to find any kind of balance between the two schools - and we've been playing them for over 110 years.

The last time they led the series was in 1926 (in Jackson) at the end of a 3-game winning streak - pre-SEC. - at that point the series was LSU 9, MSU 10 with 2 ties. We dominated the series in the 1930s, they did in the 1940s and we split the 1950s.

Beginning with the 1958 season, so 61 years, they've won 5 in a row 1 time (1980-1984), 2 in a row 1 time (1990-1991), and 6 other individual contests for a total of 13. During that same stretch, we've had streaks of 5, 10, 5, 7, 14 and a handful of 2s and 3s.

Remember 1992? A LSU squad led by unlovable loser Curley Hallman that was scrappy, but just found a way to lose games all year (2 points @Auburn, 3 points to Colorado St., 7 points @Florida, 2 points to Kentucky, etc.) Well, that must have been some kind of bad Mississippi State unit to lose to us 24-3 in Tiger Stadium.

Our only other win was 24-12 against Tulane. Almost certainly the worst LSU football team in history - going back to 1936, at least 1 LSU player has been taken in every NFL draft except 1938, 1942 and 1993 (the year after the 2-9 1992 team).
