Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports is projecting Michigan State basketball to once again be in the middle of the pack in the Big Ten.

Rothstein released preseason Big Ten power rankings this week, and he doesn’t consider the Spartans a title contender at this time. Rothstein has Michigan State sitting at No. 7 in his 18-team Big Ten power rankings.

The top three teams in his power rankings are Purdue, Indiana and UCLA. Click on the post below to see the complete list from Rothstein:

LOOK: CBB analyst Dane Fife puts MSU basketball near top of his Big Ten rankings

College basketball analyst Dane Fife lists MSU as one of the top teams in the Big Ten

College basketball analyst Dane Fife is high on the Spartans.

Fife — who was a longtime assistant coach under Tom Izzo at Michigan State — released his current Big Ten rankings and he has the Spartans near the top of the league. Michigan State comes in at No. 5 on his list behind only Wisconsin (No. 1), Purdue (No. 2), Indiana (No. 3) and Northwestern (No. 4).

Michigan State is 10-7 overall on the year. The Spartans are 2-4 in Big Ten play.

Having Michigan State at No. 5 seems about right from what we’ve seen out of the Spartans recently. But the rest of his list has some head-scratchers for sure — check out the complete rankings below:

Big Ten Power Rankings: MSU continues to drop in weekly power rankings

Michigan State continues to drop in our weekly power rankings after two more losses this past week

[mm-video type=video id=01fw2vwn7h15vsa9170s playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fw2vwn7h15vsa9170s/01fw2vwn7h15vsa9170s-7c71982bf349824254802c177c596dff.jpg]

Things are getting worse and worse for Michigan State basketball, with the Spartans struggling down the stretch.

Michigan State dropped both games this past week, and have lost four of their last five. This recent tough stretch has resulted in the Spartans dropping again in our weekly power rankings to a new low for the season.

Let’s see where Michigan State lands in our updated Big Ten power rankings:

Big Ten Power Rankings: Where’s MSU land after wild week of Big Ten hoops?

It was a wild week of Big Ten hoops with every team near the top of the league losing at least once

It was a wild week of Big Ten hoops this past week.

Each of the top five teams from our power rankings lost at least once last week, including Michigan State who dropped a home game vs. Wisconsin. So what can we make out of the “true” contenders for the Big Ten crown?

Let’s see where Michigan State lands in our updated Big Ten power rankings:

With only a month to go in the regular season, it is becoming more clear who belongs at the top of the Big Ten.

It was another up and down week for the Spartans, as Michigan State went 1-1 this past week — which included a blowout loss to Rutgers. That loss was eye-opening and has made it clear the separation at the top of Big Ten from the good teams to the great teams.

Let’s see where Michigan State lands in our updated Big Ten power rankings:

Another week and another team holding the No. 1 spot in our power rankings.

Last week, Michigan State premiered as the top team in our weekly power rankings but the Spartans were unable to hold onto that spot. So who is the new top team and where does Michigan State land this week?

It’s crazy how much things can change from one week to the next when it comes to Big Ten basketball.

Last week, Michigan State was at its lowest point following a home loss to Northwestern. However, today the Spartans are at their highest mark after an impressive double-digit victory over Wisconsin.

So where do the Spartans land in our updated batch of power rankings? Let’s take a look at where we have Michigan State and the rest of the Big Ten teams in our updated weekly power rankings:

Big Ten Basketball Power Rankings: Spartans drop after upset loss to NW

How far does Michigan State drop in our weekly power rankings after a pair of lackluster performances this past week?

It wasn’t a great week of basketball for Michigan State.

The Spartans’ nine-game winning streak was snapped this weekend in a disappointing home loss to Northwestern. Earlier in the week, Michigan State also needed late-game heroics to survive Minnesota’s upset bid. So it’s safe to say it wasn’t a great week for Michigan State.

With things not going as many Spartans’ fans thought they would, how far will Michigan State drop in our weekly power rankings? Let’s take a look at where we have the Spartans and the rest of the Big Ten teams in our updated weekly power rankings:
