Michigan State football’s annual rivalry matchup with Michigan is ranked as one of the best in the Big Ten.
Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports recently ranked all of the Big Ten rivalries, and the annual Spartans-Wolverines matchup is near the top. Of the 21 ranked rivalry games, Michigan-Michigan State ranked at No. 5 on the list.
Here’s a little bit of what Fornelli had to say about the Michigan in-state rivalry matchup:
“There’s plenty of hate here, as you’d expect from two public schools that share a state and battle each other on and off the field. However, while I appreciate that anger and the trophy is rock solid, the rivalry has been too one-sided to rank any higher than this.”

Rivalries are built upon hate, jealousy and competition, so what better way to appreciate rivalries by stacking them up against one another?
