Last week's loss to Nebraska didn't have the initial effect in the top 25 polls as previously suspected, thanks to the Spartans' win over Maryland on Saturday.
It certainly didn't help, either.
While some speculated MSU might reach the top 10 again, the Spartans actually slipped one spot in both the AP and Coaches Polls. MSU went from 10th to 11th in the Coaches Poll and slipped one spot in No. 12 in the AP version.
Maryland fell one spot to No. 8 in the AP poll and two spots to No. 7 in the Coaches Poll.
