Sports Illustrated Writer Leaves MSU Out of Early 2018 FB Top 25 Rankings

This is perfect for Spartans...

The Explanation:

Ryan Wesley‏ @POWDER_9 4h4 hours ago
@JoanNiesen Did you accidentally omit Michigan State from the Top 25 or was that intentional? An honest question because you are more than likely the only publication that will and Vegas has them with the 12th best odds of winning the NC. 19 returning starters, top 10 D, etc...

Suuuuper unintentional. In shuffling Michigan around (I wanted it ranked lower than everyone else did), somehow Michigan State lost its spot. The correct version will be up soon. Thanks!

The fan response before the "apology".

Alabama rules college football once again. Now who will start 2018 at the top of the rankings? http://on.si.com/2Epk47u

   Michigan State returns 10 of 11 on offense, 10 of 11 on defense. QB comes back. Hall of Fame coach. No doubt they are preseason top 10, I'd put them at 5ish. Unreal you didn't include them. @JoanNiesen

   What are your reasons for omitting Michigan State? Laziness or incompetence?

   They’re ranked #12 here. Am I missing something? Maybe article was updated?

   Pretty sure they omitted MSU because they weren't sure the correct name for Mark Dantonio.

      If MSU brings back Mike Dantonio they’re for sure a top 10 team!

       Michigan State has 21 out of 22 starters back and both specialists. Yet, not even ranked in the Top 25? Rubbish!
