Michigan State football is one of the all-time top 25 programs, according to the Associated Press (AP).

College Football News developed a formula that compiles the top 25 greatest programs in college football history based on the final AP Top 25 polls since 1936. That formula spit out a list of 25 teams, which included Michigan State.
