Michigan vs. Michigan State football listed as Big Ten’s No. 2 must-watch game

Michigan versus Michigan State football was listed as the Big Ten’s No. 2 must-watch game for 2022. Agree or disagree with this ranking?

Every year, the Michigan versus Michigan State football game is circled on the calendar.

Although Michigan fans don’t want to admit it, this “Super Bowl” for Michigan State is equally as important for the Wolverines. No one wants to lose this game because, well, the bragging rights are exhausting for whoever doesn’t hold them.

The week leading up to the game also puts a knot in everyone’s stomachs.

Michigan and Michigan State football fans loathe the thought of losing to their in-state rival and that’s what makes this game so intense. This rivalry is heated.

And now that both teams are ranked in the top 15 and both seemingly thriving, it’s only going to get better.

People are taking notice.

Michigan versus Michigan State is ranked the No. 2 must-watch Big Ten game of the 2022 season by 247Sports.

While this is just one opinion, it goes to show the national relevance of the Michigan versus Michigan State rivalry and the fact that it’s only getting more intense.

It’s also ahead of the Ohio State-Penn State game on the same day and just behind Michigan-Ohio State.

I think this is the right spot for this game because outside of Ohio State versus Michigan, there isn’t another rivalry in the Big Ten that’s as heated as this one. Plus, there are some serious bragging rights on the line and if you’ve logged onto social media for one second this offseason, you know how important those are.

Michigan State appears again on this list at No. 8 for the Penn State game on Nov. 26 in Happy Valley — another rivalry.
