Michigan State remains in a good spot to be bowling on New Year’s Day, according to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network.

McMurphy for a third straight week has the Spartans playing in the Outback Bowl in his weekly bowl projections. Again this week, McMurphy has Michigan State matched up with Texas A&M.

Michigan State moves up to New Year’s Day bowl game in latest projections from Brett McMurphy

Michigan State could be celebrating New Year’s in a big-time bowl game

Michigan State could be celebrating New Year’s in a big-time bowl game.

The Spartans are continuing to win and continuing to climb up the Big Ten bowl game pecking order in many projections. That includes Brett McMurphy’s latest batch of bowl projections released on Monday.

McMurphy has moved the Spartans up to the Outback Bowl against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Michigan State would be a 0.5-point underdog in this matchup.

Entering the season I would have been thrilled with any bowl game for the Spartans so the fact that they could make a New Year’s Day bowl game is pretty incredible. With a win this week against Rutgers, the Spartans will officially be bowl eligible so a bowl berth could be wrapped up as soon as this week.

Nashville or Las Vegas — which would you prefer as a fan?

Those two destinations appear to be the common picks for where Michigan State will be bowling this holiday season. That is the case in college football analyst Brett McMurphy’s updated bowl projections.

The latest bowl projections update from McMurphy now has the Spartans playing Missouri in the Music City Bowl in Nashville. For the past two weeks, McMurphy had the Spartans in the Las Vegas Bowl against a Pac-12 foe.

USA TODAY: No bowl game for Spartans in 2021

Another preseason bowl predictions list has Michigan State missing out on the bowl season this year

[mm-video type=video id=01fcc2vd6714p24wt3zq playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fcc2vd6714p24wt3zq/01fcc2vd6714p24wt3zq-80e2f65f9ce0b71b19999cff0a7ca696.jpg]

Add Erick Smith of USA TODAY to the list of national media that is not high on the 2021 Michigan State Spartans.

Smith released his first batch of bowl predictions for the upcoming season, and like many he evidently isn’t buying much stock in Michigan State. Smith left the Spartans off his bowl predictions last week list — joining Brett McMurphy who also put out bowl predictions that didn’t have the Spartans bowling.

Here’s Smith’s breakdown of the Big Ten teams in bowl games this year:

  • Orange Bowl (CFP Semifinal): Ohio State vs. Alabama
  • Rose Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Oregon
  • Outback Bowl: Iowa vs. Florida
  • Citrus Bowl: Penn State vs. LSU
  • Music City Bowl: Michigan vs. Ole Miss
  • Las Vegas Bowl: Indiana vs. Arizona State
  • Pinstripe Bowl: Northwestern vs. Virginia
  • Guaranteed Rate Bowl: Nebraska vs. West Virginia
  • Quick Lane Bowl: Purdue vs. Toledo
  • Redbox Bowl: Minnesota vs. Cal

I don’t blame Smith for aligning with so many others in the national media, but I personally believe Michigan State will reach a bowl game this year. So it’ll be interesting to monitor Smith’s weekly updates on his bowl predictions throughout the season should the Spartans live up to my expectations of reaching a bowl game this holiday season.
