As Michigan State enters the first season under Coach Jonathan Smith, which games are must-win games?
Michigan State and Coach Jonathan Smith undoubtedly have one of the most challenging schedules in the country. Specifically, Michigan State has arguably the most difficult four-game stretch. In five weeks, Michigan State plays two teams ranked in the preseason top five. Smith and his coaching staff face one of the most daunting slates of games in college football, and that is in addition to all the other difficulties they have had to face this offseason.
The four-game stretch is challenging; Smith and Michigan State deserve a pass for nearly anything that happens during that span. Most would agree that Michigan State will likely lose all four of those games; it's just a matter of how competitive Coach Smith and Michigan State will be during those games.
Six wins are needed for a team to be invited to a bowl game. After removing the four games that Smith and Michigan State likely lose, Michigan State has eight remaining games to secure those six wins. If Smith and Michigan State hope to make it to a bowl game, there are six games they absolutely must win.
