Pro Football Focus (PFF) is giving Michigan State essentially no chance at reaching the College Football Playoff in 2025.
While I’m personally bullish on the Spartans and think they have the ceiling potential to contend for a spot in the College Football Playoff, that is simply not the case with PFF. The well-known football rating site is giving the Spartans a 2% chance of reaching the College Football Playoff this fall.
There Spartans’ 2% chance of reaching the College Football Playoff from PFF is tied for the lowest in the Big Ten. Michigan State is tied with Northwestern and Purdue for the longest odds of reaching the College Football Playoff.
Michigan State comes into this season with a win total over/under of 5.5 so simply reaching a bowl game is the first and most realistic goal for the Spartans. But I’m still surprised to see teams such as UCLA, Maryland and Wisconsin having better odds from PFF than the Spartans.
