#7 Michigan State awaits BCS

Here comes the BCS and Michigan State's justifiable hopes for Orange/Sugar/Fiesta. AP Poll relaesed earlier this week has #4 Wisconsin, #6 Ohio State, #7 Michigan State -- and, #7 MSU beat #4 Wisconsin handily earlier this year... all three teams are 11-1. Shall the Spartans get its just due in its best year in 45 years, or will it get the shaft in favor of Ohio State in a down year?

Tune in on ESPN or Fox Sports (not sure which one, channel flip) at 8:15 pm to see the official BCS pairings...
