Where MSU lands in USA TODAY’s Big Ten Football Power Rankings for 2023 season

See where the Spartans are listed in USA TODAY’s post-spring power rankings for the Big Ten

With spring ball in the rear view mirror, many have begun to look ahead to the fall and how teams are stacking up in their conferences in 2023. This is the case for Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY.

Myerberg released a batch of Big Ten football power rankings last week, which also included the biggest question for each team as they leave spring practice. Coming off a 5-7 season in 2022, Michigan State is not considered one of the top teams in the league but also not near the bottom of the conference.

See where Myerberg ranks Michigan State and the rest of the Big Ten teams in his post-spring power rankings:

Michigan State has already started earning some respect nationally after their 2-0 start to the season. That includes RJ Young of FOX Sports.

Young released his post-Week 2 rankings on Sunday and he has the Spartans higher than most around the country. Young has Michigan State listed as the No. 18 team in the country after this past week. That ranks fifth in the Big Ten.

Check out the complete rankings below:

I’m very excited about the Spartans’ start to the season, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to rank them this high. A win against, Miami (FL) this week and I’ll be on board with Young.

Regardless, this is pretty cool to see Michigan State back in the national conversation of being a team people should keep an eye on this year. Let’s hope they can keep it up.
