Ranking Michigan State football's October opponents by difficulty

Michigan State football has started the year on a high note, sitting at 3-1 through four games, but a dreadful stretch in the month of October awaits.

It’s been well-documented how tough October has been for the Spartans over the years, with a losing record in the month since 2018, but Jonathan Smith and Co. are preparing for different luck this time around. The Spartans will need to maneuver through another tough slate with two ranked opponents and another ranked game.

Engineering through October with a winning record won’t be easy, but this team is hoping it can forget the struggles in the past and come away with a positive month.
