This article is exactly what the headline tells you it will be.
1. Michigan State (8-1, 2-0 B1G)
The Spartans played Rutger closer than they would have liked, but they are a top 3 team who have won every game except for their matchup with first-ranked Duke by double-digits. They have the most talent in the conference by a considerable margin, and they are translating it to both sides of the ball right now. If Michigan State looks this good come March, the Spartans will be a popular pick as the Big Ten’s first NCAA Champions since 2000 (also the Spartans).
