Michigan State Football: 5 reasons MSU will be better than Michigan in 2018

In a rivalry that hasn’t cooled off at all in the past decade, Michigan State football has dominated Michigan. That will continue in 2018.

A rivalry as old as time, Michigan State and Michigan flat-out don’t like each other. The Spartans haven’t had as much success in the rivalry’s history, but the past decade has nearly evened things out since they joined the Big Ten.

There will always be a debate about who’s actually better. Michigan fans will bring up that all-time record in said debate while Michigan State faithful mention the 2-8 record the Wolverines have against the Spartans in the past decade.

Truly, there’s no winning this argument between the two fan bases — each side believes they’re right and they won’t be told otherwise.

Both sides can admit to when one team is better than the other — at least the logical fans can — and it’s time to look ahead to the 2018 season. Who will take the cake as the best team in the state of Michigan?

Here’s why the Spartans will hold that distinction yet again.
