Michigan State non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Michigan State 1998-2007
Average Rank = 58.8
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%

Analysis: The Spartans schedule consistently, but they're all over the board in terms of their rankings. They'll usually play one road game against a BCS opponent, have Notre Dame on the schedule, and play a few non-BCS teams at home. Their opponents' average wins are pretty high, but they're not elite teams.

Fact: Michigan State is 1 of 5 teams who haven't scheduled a single I-AA opponent in the BCS years. Good for them.

Fact: Of their 17 games against non-BCS teams, Michigan State has only played 1 on the road – at Hawaii at the end of the 2004 season.

2008 Outlook: More of the same. They open up @ California, then have easies against Eastern Michigan and Florida Atlantic at home. The rivalry with Notre Dame is at home this year. Top half for 2008.
