It appears Brett McMurphy of The Action Network is not particularly high on Michigan State entering the 2022 season.

While 247Sports had Michigan State returning to a New Year’s Six bowl game in their recent bowl projections, McMurphy has the Spartans going to a lower-tier bowl game. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl to be exact.

McMurphy has Michigan State playing Louisville in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl in his never-too-early 2022 bowl projections that were released on Monday. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl isn’t a bad bowl by any means, but it’s nowhere near as prestigious as one of the New Year’s Six bowl games.

Will MSU be bowling this year? Assessing where Spartans could end up

Check out the four possibilities where I could see Michigan State football land this bowl season.

In a normal season, we would know by now where (or if) Michigan State football would be bowling this holiday season. However, this year we won’t have that answer for a few more weeks so we still have time to speculate where the Spartans could be bowling this year.

MSU is 2-4 on the season with two games still left on the schedule so reaching a .500 record is still in play. Again, in a normal year that would mean MSU would need to win out to qualify for a bowl, but the normal restrictions are not in place this year. So regardless of the next two week’s results, MSU is able to go bowling this year — whether they are selected or not is what we need to determine.

Erick Smith of USA TODAY currently has the Spartans not listed in his latest bowl projections — which are released every Tuesday. But that doesn’t mean MSU is dead in the water when it comes to making a bowl game. At least, not at this point in time.

Here are the four possibilities where I could see MSU land this bowl season:
