In what is MSU’s highest preseason ranking in the Preseason Associated Press Poll since 1967 (No. 3) the Spartans are ranked No. 5 in the AP poll which was released Sunday, Aug. 23.
This is MSU's second appearance in the Preseason AP Top 10 in as many years (No. 8 in 2014).
The Spartans have a 24-3 record since 2013. MSU is the only team in the nation to win a BCS game in 2013 and a New Year's Six game in 2014.
“Our focus remains on winning championships,” MSU head coach Mark Dantonio said in a press release.
