Michigan State football returns next week with the Spartans opening the season against Western Michigan from Spartan Stadium.
The season may not have kicked off yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t already look ahead to the bowl season. Brett McMurphy of the Action Network released his preseason bowl projections on Monday, with all but three Big Ten teams heading bowling. That includes the Michigan State Spartans heading to another big-time bowl this year.
Check out where the Spartans and every other Big Ten team lands in McMurphy’s preseason bowl projections:
