The Michigan State Spartans are ranked 5th in the AP coming into the 2015 season. Here is some raw data:

2014 Team Rankings
#5 Overall in the AP
Points scored per game: 43.0 (7th of 128)
Points allowed per game: 21.5 (22nd of 128)
Seven starters returning on offense
Eight starters returning on defense


Returning player stats (class rank is this year’s and data is for 2014)
Connor Cook - QB - Senior - Passing: 3,214 yards, 58.1% completion rate, 24 TDs, 8 Ints, 149.4 QB rating - Big Ten All-Conference
Jack Allen - Center – Senior - 2014 All-American and Big Ten All-Conference
Shilique Calhoun – DE – Senior Tackles: solo 28 solo, 39 total, 12.5 for a loss, 8 sacks

The Spartans are ranked 5th to start the season but could easily have been ranked higher. A returning starting QB is a huge advantage. An early season test will be when they play Oregon in the early part of the season; however, they could lose this game and still be in contention to make to the playoffs. The real key to their season will be whether they can beat the Buckeyes?
