Your Michigan State Spartans will be entering the season as the No. 13-ranked team in the preseason AP Poll. That makes the Spartans one of six Big Ten teams entering the season in the top 25.
Iowa heads up the conference as the No. 5 team, and Wisconsin trails closely behind with a No. 7 ranking. Behind the Spartans in the rankings is Ohio State at No. 23, Rutgers at No. 24 and Michigan at No. 25. Indiana also received votes to give them a participation trophy heading into the season.
