MSU listed just outside ESPN’s ‘Way-Too-Early’ Top 25 rankings for 2024-25 season

MSU basketball will start the offseason just outside the top 25 in the eyes of ESPN’s Jeff Borzello

Michigan State basketball will start the offseason just outside the top 25 in the eyes of ESPN’s Jeff Borzello.

Borzello — like so many of his college basketball writing peers — released his way-too-early rankings for next season on Tuesday, which had the Spartans just outside the top 25. Borzello put Michigan State on his “next in line” list suggesting the Spartans are just outside the top 25.

Borzello had _ teams from the Big Ten in his rankings, including Purdue (No. 6), UCLA (No. 19), Maryland (No. 20), Rutgers (No. 21) and Wisconsin (No. 24). Ohio State was also included in the “next in line” list.

MSU football receives no votes in updated AP Top 25 poll

Michigan State football receives no votes in updated AP Top 25 poll released on Tuesday

Michigan State’s three-plus touchdown victory over Central Michigan this past week must not have impressed the Associated Press Top 25 poll voters.

For a second straight week, Michigan State failed to receive a single vote in the updated top 25 rankings that were released on Tuesday. The Spartans didn’t receive any votes in the preseason poll as well.

A total of four Big Ten teams are ranked, including three inside the top 10: Michigan at No. 2, Ohio State at No. 5 and Penn State at No. 7. Wisconsin is also ranked at No. 19. Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois all received votes as well.

ESPN has MSU football ahead of rival UM in latest ‘Way-Too-Early’ rankings for 2022 season

Mark Schlabach of ESPN likes Michigan State a tad bit more than Michigan entering the 2022 season

Mark Schlabach of ESPN likes Michigan State a tad bit more than Michigan entering the 2022 season.

While many are considering Michigan the top competitor to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship race next season, Schlabach actually has Michigan State a spot above the Wolverines. He released an updated batch of way-too-early rankings for the 2022 season on Friday, which had Michigan State at No. 9 and one spot ahead of Michigan at No. 10.

Here’s a bit of what Schlabach had to say about Michigan State:

“After posting the biggest turnaround in school history, the Spartans spent the spring searching for Walker’s replacement and filling in key transfers on defense. Berger has already transferred from Wisconsin, and Broussard, who ran for 1,556 yards the past two seasons at Colorado, is expected to enroll in May.”

Both the Spartans and Wolverines are behind Ohio State who is at No. 2 in Schlabach’s rankings. The only other ranked team from the Big Ten was Iowa at No. 25.

The season is still more than three months away at this point, but this is still interesting to see nonetheless. I personally have Michigan State a tick below the Wolverines if I were to create preseason rankings but it’s not by much so I respect Schlabach’s decision to have it vice versa.
