Michigan State’s upcoming matchup with Pitt in the Peach Bowl is one of the top bowl games of the year, according to Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports.
Fornelli ranked all 42 bowl games in a fun article that was published on Monday, which broke down the best matchups this bowl season. The Peach Bowl that pits the Spartans against the Panthers was near the top of his list as the No. 4 bowl game. The only games ranked higher on his list were the Rose Bowl (Utah vs. Ohio State), Cotton Bowl (Alabama vs. Cincinnati), and Orange Bowl (Michigan vs. Georgia).
Here’s a little bit of what Fornelli had to say about the Peach Bowl matchup:
“Little did we know that there was more in the line in the ACC Championship Game than just a conference title. If Wake Forest had won the game, this would be the Kenneth Walker III Bowl between Walker’s old team and his current team. Instead, Pitt won, so now it’s the Pat Narduzzi Bowl, as the Pitt coach goes against the Michigan State team where he spent eight seasons as defensive coordinator before taking the Panthers job in 2015.”
Michigan State and Pitt will play in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30 at 7 p.m. EST. The game will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
