Michigan State football is heading out west in the latest batch of bowl projections from USA TODAY.
Erick Smith of USA TODAY released his updated bowl projections for this week on Tuesday, and Michigan State is going to Arizona. He has the Spartans projected to play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against Cincinnati in his last projections.
Michigan State is 3-1 on the year following a loss to Boston College last week. That loss dropped the Spartans in the bowl pecking order from the Music City Bowl in Smith’s projection last week to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl this week.
Next up for Michigan State is a pair of matchups against top 10 teams — Ohio State this week and at Oregon next week. So it’ll be interesting to monitor the Spartans’ bowl status over the next few weeks, with Michigan State either raising its bowl stock or dropping it.
