ESPN Football Power Index predicts another losing season for Michigan State in 2025
ESPN Football Power Index predicts another losing season for Michigan State in 2025 The computers behind the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) are expecting another rough year in East Lansing, Mich. in 2025. The preseason FPI ratings and rankings were released earlier this week, and its not particularly high on the Spartans. At this point in time, FPI has Michigan State ranked as the No. 59 team nationally -- which comes out to No. 15 out of 18 teams from the Big Ten. Among power four conferences (plus Notre Dame), Michigan State ranked No. 56 out of 68 teams. As far as how many games will the Spartans win this year, FPI is projecting it to again be a bowl-less season. FPI has predicted Michigan State to finish 5-7 in 2025, with a 42.4% chance to reach bowl eligibility. The projections from ESPN's FPI tool aren't all that surprising as these type of metrics aren't going to shed must positive light on Michigan State. However, I personally take FPI with a grain of salt as I'm not sure how truly accurate this tool is in today's modern world of college football where the transfer portal is so prevalent in roster construction. So keep that in mind when considering what FPI is projecting for the Spartans this fall. Michigan State comes into this season with three straight losing seasons, and looking to get back into the postseason for the first time in four years. The Spartans will open the 2025 season against Western Michigan on August 29 at Spartan Stadium.

Notre Dame offers 4-star 2027 Pennsylvania wide receiver Matthew Gregory
When Ja'Juan Seider made the move from Penn State to Notre Dame as its running backs coach, it opened the doors to many players in the state of Pennsylvania. The connections helped the Irish, as on Wednesday, a new offer went out to a Keystone State prospect in 2027 wide receiver Matthew Gregory. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 170-pound prospect is currently listed as an athlete, but will most likely play on offense when he arrives on a college campus. Advertisement Gregory is ranked as the No. 106 overall player by the 247Sports Composite in his class, making him one of the nation's best. He has a solid offer list at this early moment, as Notre Dame joined teams like Florida State, Missouri, Wisconsin and the Nittany Lions. He had an impressive sophomore season, accounting for 1,100 all-purpose yards with 16 total touchdowns. On defense Gregory picked off six passes as well, earning first-team all-league honors. Speed is a big part of his game, as he's been clocked at 4.35 when running a 40-yard dash. The hope is that this offer from the Irish get Gregory to make a visit to South Bend in the near future, and if that does happen, Notre Dame could be putting themselves in a great position to land the top prospect.
