Michigan State football is one of the all-time top 25 programs, according to the Associated Press (AP).

College Football News developed a formula that compiles the top 25 greatest programs in college football history based on the final AP Top 25 polls since 1936. That formula spit out a list of 25 teams, which included Michigan State.

The Spartans came in at No. 19 in the all-time rankings, which is fifth in the current Big Ten and seventh in the future Big Ten. The current Big Ten teams ahead of Michigan State were Ohio State (No. 2), Michigan (No. 4), Nebraska (No. 7) and Penn State (No. 9).
