The countdown to August 30 has begun! Check out the finalized Michigan State football 2024 schedule
The countdown to Aug. 30 has begun, Spartans fans.
The college football season is upon us and can’t come soon enough with plenty of excitement surrounding the Michigan State program. The Spartans are coming off a pair of losing seasons but have a new leader at the helm of the program, Jonathan Smith, who hopefully will get the program back on track in East Lansing, Michigan.
The new college football season is only a week away now! Here is the finalized Michigan State football 2024 schedule:
See where MSU ranks among its peers in CBS Sports’ hardest schedules rankings for the Big Ten teams
Frankly, there are no easy schedules in the Big Ten. But, Michigan State has apparently one of the hardest ones.
Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports ranked the Big Ten teams in hardest to weakest schedules, and unfortunately Michigan State has one of the harder slates. Fornelli put Michigan State at No. 6 in his rankings, noting the Spartans’ brutal four-game middle stretch of Ohio State, at Oregon, Iowa and at Michigan as a main reason for why its so difficult.
Here’s a bit of what Fornelli had to say about Michigan State’s schedule:
“Michigan State’s schedule should be broken into three parts. The first part features four games against Florida Atlantic and Prairie View at home and road games against Maryland and Boston College. The road games aren’t fun, but it’s manageable for a program with a new coach and a new quarterback. …”

When you have 18 teams in your league and play 9 conference games, it's hard to find a team with an easy schedule. I still tried to, though.
