Poll: Fighting Fitz's style: MSU OVER 4.5 or UNDER 4.5 wins - By Daytripper August 27, 2026 at 12:45:09 PM
- I'll take the over based on good portal additions and hiring Iowa's special teams coach. - By GritsGoBlue August 27, 2026 at 01:09:05 PM
  - do you think they will make a bowl? - By Nikos August 27, 2026 at 01:10:39 PM
    - I guess? I see them around 5-6 wins. (nm) - By GritsGoBlue August 27, 2026 at 01:39:00 PM
      - Yep, I think they get to 6. Which will be hailed as the greatest coaching performance in B10 history by the local media (m) - By Spirit August 27, 2026 at 01:44:19 PM
- their Toledo opener is a huge deal. it sets the table for their true SOS - By Nikos August 27, 2026 at 12:51:42 PM
  - Yep. There's no scenario where they are better than 3-9 if they lose to Toledo.* - By LS&Play August 27, 2026 at 12:58:23 PM
  - 5 wins... - By ameriKa August 27, 2026 at 12:54:26 PM

  - I think they get the Toledo game and pickup one more against that early B1G slate - By Daytripper August 27, 2026 at 12:52:20 PM
    - Trev made an interesting point on our Ep 2 I had not considered. UM - MSU is usually much earlier in the szn, with more at stake in terms of conference race, guys are probably fresher/healthier, there's less on tape, etc - By Nikos August 27, 2026 at 12:57:22 PM
      - Yea, they will be beaten down already, the usual "rivarly competitiveness" probably will be lessened* - By Daytripper August 27, 2026 at 12:58:11 PM
