MSU doesn’t receive any votes in 2023 preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Michigan State football will start the 2023 season with extremely low expectations.

The 2023 preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll was released on Monday and the Spartans failed to receive a single vote in the poll. Michigan State is coming off a 5-7 year with relatively low expectations nationally and the coaches poll proved that to be the case on Monday.

Four teams from the Big Ten cracked the preseason top 25 — including Michigan (No. 2), Ohio State (No. 4), Penn State (No. 7) and Wisconsin (No. 21). Iowa was right outside the top 25 with the most votes to not be ranked.
