The Michigan State Spartans fell on the road in Nebraska on what was a highly controversial ending. With the Spartan loss, they will likely drop out of the top ten and lessen the hype around their match up in Columbus on November 21st.
Throughout the course of the season, the Spartans and Buckeyes have both flirted with losing. Until yesterday, they both had undefeated records, but have not been blowing people out in the fashion of teams like Baylor.
But the game between Ohio State and Michigan State will still be significant. Assuming both teams win next week, the Buckeyes will have no losses, and the Spartans would have one.
