Spartans listed just outside top 10 in updated 2022 rankings from FOX Sports

Michigan State football is considered one of the top 12 teams in the country, according to FOX Sports

Michigan State football is considered one of the top 12 teams in the country, according to FOX Sports.

FOX Sports released a batch of too early rankings this past week, which found the Spartans near the top of the country. The Spartans came in at No. 12 on the list that ranked the top 30 teams nationally.

The Spartans were the third-highest Big Ten team — behind only Ohio State (No. 2) and Michigan (No. 4). Three other Big Ten teams also made the list, with Wisconsin (No. 18), Iowa (No. 23) and Penn State (No. 28) also ranked.

These rankings from FOX Sports aligns with a lot of these similar way-too-early rankings for the 2022 college football season. Michigan State is generally somewhere between No. 8 and No. 15 from what I’ve seen this offseason so it’s safe to say there will be high expectations in East Lansing, Mich. this fall.
