Back in the summer, fans of both the Michigan State Spartans and the Michigan Wolverines would have Marveled at the situation that we find ourselves in this weekend. Back then, neither team was ranked and most pundits projected that the Spartans would not even get enough wins to play in a bowl game.
Time travel forward to late October and both teams are undefeated and ranked in the top-eight nationally. The last time both teams met as members of the top-10 was in the 1960s, and back then the annual Civil War took place in the third game of the season.
