Things have been rough for the Spartans the past two weeks, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of bowl contention.
Spartans Illustrated writer and analytics guru Paul Fanson is still giving Michigan State solid odds of reaching the postseason for the first time in three years. Fanson took to social media platform X on Sunday morning to note that Michigan State still has a 71 percent chance of reaching a bowl game based on his analytics model.

Michigan State is on a bye next week, but from there they have the remaining three games on their schedule:
- November 16: at Illinois
- November 22: vs. Purdue
- November 30: vs. Rutgers
With a 4-5 overall record, Michigan State will need to win two of the final three games to reach bowl eligibility. All three of those games will be considered winnable but don’t be surprised if it comes down to the final game of the season for Michigan State to clinch a bowl berth.
