The Michigan State Spartans explosive offensive performance yesterday in Piscataway helped the team climb into the top-10 of both the Associated Press and USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll for this week’s results. Following a multiple-record breaking performance that saw Michigan State become the fifth team in FBS history to have a 300-yard passer, 200-yard rusher, and 200-yard receiver in the same game, the Spartans enter this week at No. 9 in the Coaches and No. 10 in the AP Poll.
There were some noticeable changes at the top as Alabama suffered a rare regular season loss and fell from the top as a result.
