Michigan State’s chances of winning the Big Ten were slashed by the Buckeyes this past weekend, but that appears to not be the case for a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl game at least.
Brett McMurphy — a college football analyst for The Action Network — still has the Spartans slated for a big-time bowl game in his latest projections. He has Michigan State playing Cincinnati in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day.
If the Spartans can rebound with a victory over Penn State this weekend, then that should be good enough to lock up a spot in the Fiesta Bowl or possibly the Peach Bowl. Nothing will be certain until the following weekend, but a 10-2 Spartans team appears destined for a New Year’s Six bowl game.
