When I thought of the idea to come up with this list, it seemed simple and easy. Generally, top tier Big Ten teams have two or three toss up games in each season. I didn’t realize how comfortable I had gotten as a Spartan fan over Dantonio’s tenure until now.
I could easily call six or seven of the games on Michigan State’s schedule toss-up games — games that could go either way. That’s just how life is as a middle tier team; the gap between 4-8 and 8-4 isn’t all that big.
And so, as I looked through the schedule, I really had to narrow it down quite a bit.
