The battle for the majestic Land Grant Tophy is going to be a little less intriguing this year than it's been in years past. Michigan State vs Penn State looked like an interesting game when the season started, but with both programs falling off so much, it's not nearly as important.
The Spartans have lost six straight games and sit at 3-6 with just three games remaining. There's a small chance they could make their first bowl game since 2021, but it's not looking good.
Michigan State is about to miss a bowl game for the fourth straight season overall and second under Jonathan Smith.
