Michigan State is no longer ranked in the Amway Coaches Poll or the AP Poll Top-25, but luckily for us MSU fans, there is still a ranking they are included in as USA TODAY ranks all 130 college football teams each week in their NCAA re-rank post and they have the Spartans at number 32 overall.
USA TODAY had MSU number 28 after the close win against Indiana so this isn’t a huge dropoff for Mark Dantonio’s squad. If they can beat Wisconsin they’ll obviously fly back up these rankings, but I expect them to end up higher than this no matter what. MSU is in their toughest stretch of the season right now, and even if they lose to Wisconsin, all is not lost, as I think they could end the season with just three losses.
