Just one season after winning the 2015 Cotton Bowl, the Michigan State Spartans have become one of the premier college football teams in the nation and the second-best squad in the Big Ten. Although Ohio State holds the national title crown right now, the Spartans aren’t too far behind.
Urban Meyer is building somewhat of an empire in Columbus, Ohio, these days, but Dantonio could ensure that the Buckeyes-Spartans rivalry is one that college football simply cannot overlook. The Spartans have won four straight bowl games and are the only team to win a BCS bowl game in 2014 and a New Years Six bowl game in 2015.
