Where does MSU land in latest USA TODAY bowl projections update?

See where USA TODAY has the Spartans landing this bowl season

Erick Smith of USA TODAY doesn’t like the Spartans’ chances of beating Rutgers on Saturday based on his latest bowl projections.

Smith released a new batch of bowl projections earlier this week, and he did not include Michigan State in the mix. The Spartans had previously been projected to end up in the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit, Mich.

Michigan State is 5-6 overall and comes into this final weekend needing a victory over Rutgers to reach bowl eligibility. The Spartans haven’t been to a bowl game since the Peach Bowl in 2021.

Kickoff between Michigan State and Rutgers is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Michigan State football is staying close to home in the latest bowl projections from Action Network

Should the Spartans beat Rutgers on Saturday, it appears Michigan State football is destined for the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit.

Brett McMurphy of the Action Network released an updated batch of bowl projections on Monday, and he has Michigan State landing in the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit. He is projecting the Spartans to face Buffalo in the bowl.

The GameAbove Sports Bowl has been a popular destination for the Spartans in projections this week (and, really, most weeks for the last month). CBS Sports also has Michigan State landing in that bowl game.

The Spartans are 5-6 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. Michigan State snapped a three-game losing streak this past weekend with a win over Purdue. The Spartans will need to beat Rutgers on Saturday in order to reach bowl eligibility.

Michigan State hosts Rutgers in the regular season finale on Saturday. Kickoff time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Detroit-based bowl reportedly ‘preferred destination’ if MSU reaches bowl eligibility

It seems clear where Michigan State football will be bowling this year should they beat Rutgers this week

If Michigan State football beats Rutgers this week to reach bowl eligibility, there’s reportedly a strong chance they’ll remain close to home this holiday season.

Braw Crawford of 247Sports’ released his weekly bowl projections on Sunday morning, and stated the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit is the “preferred destination” for Michigan State should they reach bowl eligibility. The exact quote from Crawford can be found below:

“Sources told 247Sports that Detroit is the preferred destination for the Spartans if they hit the magic number.”

The quote from Crawford doesn’t clarify if the Detroit-based bowl game is preferred by the Spartans, Big Ten or GameAbove Sports Bowl reps. It certainly would make sense for the Spartans to land in a game close to home in an effort to draw a big crowd.

Crawford currently has Michigan State facing Buffalo of the Mid-American Conference in his latest projections. Jerry Palm of CBS Sports has the Spartans facing Miami (OH) in the same bowl game in his last projections.

Michigan State is 5-6 overall on the year and must beat Rutgers in the season finale on Saturday to reach bowl eligibility. Kickoff from Spartan Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. on Saturday.

Spartans back in latest USA TODAY bowl projections

Michigan State football has returned to the weekly USA TODAY bowl projections

Michigan State football has returned to the weekly USA TODAY bowl projections.

After being left out for a few weeks, Erick Smith has once again added Michigan State to his weekly update of bowl projections. Smith has the Spartans landing in the Pinstripe Bowl facing off against Syracuse.

Michigan State has been a common pick for the Detroit Bowl this week, with both Action Network and CBS Sports slating the Spartans for that bowl. So Smith having Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl is a slightly better placement for the Spartans.

Michigan State is 4-5 overall and 2-4 in Big Ten play on the year after back-to-back losses the past two weeks. The Spartans will need to win two of its final three games against Illinois, Purdue and Rutgers to reach bowl eligibility.
