Hoosier Huddle's Game Day Primer: No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers at Michigan State

What’s at Stake: Indiana and Michigan State meet annually for the Old Brass Spittoon so there is a rivalry trophy on the line for the first time in the Curt Cignetti era. Of course, the Indiana Hoosiers have a whole lot at stake as the calendar turns to November. Indiana is ranked 13th in the country and has the resume of a team that should be comfortably in the top ten. The initial College Football Playoff rankings come out on Tuesday, November 5 and a win in East Lansing would give the Hoosiers a real shot to be in the first bracket reveal. IU is also playing for a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game and a win is necessary to remain in first place in the league. Michigan State is has four wins and is trying to reach a bowl game in Jonathan Smith’s first season. They have games remaining against Illinois, Rutgers and Purdue and a win over the Hoosiers would give the Spartans a chance to reach six, seven or even eight victories.
