5. Ohio State

Now it’s time to get serious. And by serious I mean the most difficult four game stretch I think I’ve ever seen on a Michigan State schedule.

The next four games will likely all be against ranked opponents, with three of them against teams inside the top 10. And it all begins with my preseason Big Ten and national title favorite Ohio State.

The Buckeyes return a lot of production from an 11-win team last season, and on top of that they have the added motivation this year thanks to Michigan’s success last season. Ohio State plays to win national championships ever year, so surely they are not happy that their biggest rival is the reigning national champion.

So that means they’re going to be ready to play every week and won’t let up throughout the entire season. Unfortunately for Michigan State they just so happen to be in the way of this Buckeye freight train, and I don’t think there’s anything they can do to stop it.

All I hope is that Smith has his team put up a decent fight and it’s not an immediate blowout like last year.

Prediction: Ohio State wins 38-10

Record: 3-2, 0-2
