My case for MSU instead of other choices like Ohio State or Penn State (all of whom would be good picks as well) is that the Spartans have chemistry and many returning starters. Penn State lost much and when your head football coach tells the fan base to ‘pump the brakes’ on expectations at Big Ten Media Days then that is a clue of what he thinks of the team. It was not just coach speak but honesty.
