Monday was a pretty big day for ESPN college football announcements, as far as off-season announcements go. The cable giant released its schedule for "Six Big Ten College Football Games for Prime Time Telecasts" in 2013,'' and Michigan State — a top 10-ranked team as recently as last season — is nowhere to be found.

We're keeping the band together, guys. MSU will enter the 2013-2014 basketball season with 9 of its 10 scholarship players returning while adding a redshirt freshman and two late breaking recruiting commitments to the mix. Adreian Payne's return means only Derrick Nix's minutes will need to be filled from the 2013 Sweet Sixteen squad (setting aside Brandan Kearney's midseason departure). The returning minute percentage will rank among the highest of the Tom Izzo era

Michigan State might not always be pretty to watch this season because of that offense, but the Spartans will be a team no one wants to play because of that hard-hitting defense. Again, all they have to do is be mediocre offensively, because the defense will keep them in every game. And with that schedule, Michigan State should remain in the thick of the Legends Division race deep into the fall.

ESPN analyst Dick Vitale originally ranked Michigan State the No. 3 team in the preseason before bumping the Spartans up a spot to No. 2. The reason? North Carolina, his previous No. 2, lost one of its top players, Reggie Bullock, to the NBA draft.

It's possible 6-foot-10 junior forward Adreian Payne will turn pro, but if he doesn't, the Spartans will be primed for a run at the title. Unlike this season, Gary Harris, Brandon Dawson and Travis Trice should be fully healthy for the Spartans at the start of the 2013-14 season.

Not that Michigan State needed any more motivation, but an one magazine websites' offseason Top 25 list has served as a slap in the face. PhilSteele.com lists five Big Ten teams in the Top 25, but the Spartans aren't one of them, despite returning 17 starters and the cornerstones of one of the nation's top 5 defenses.

Since people eat them up, the early 2013-14 preseason rankings for college basketball have come out the day after last night's championship. The biggest problem is that most NBA decisions haven't been made. Gary Harris and Adreian Payne are kind of important for MSU, as are Mitch McGary, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Glenn Robinson III for Michigan. Anyway, here is where some notable outlets have MSU ranked for next season. There surely will be updates in a few weeks after NBA decisions are made.
