Michigan State football’s back is against the wall when it comes to reaching the postseason this year.
The Spartans will need to win both of its final two games this season to reach a bowl game, but that hasn’t scared away Erick Smith from including the Spartans in his weekly bowl projections. Smith released an updated batch of bowl projections on Tuesday and Michigan State is still slated for the Rate Bowl in Phoenix. Smith has the Spartans playing against Texas Tech in the projected matchup.
Michigan State is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, including back-to-back double-digit defeats to Indiana and Illinois. The Spartans are 4-6 overall and 2-5 in Big Ten play.
The Spartans host Purdue this week, with kickoff scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Friday. Michigan State is a sizable favorite in this matchup.
