MSU ranked #3 by coaches

Michigan State moves up to #3 in the coach's poll.  One of the greatest games I've ever seen was watching Nick $aban crash and burn at home in Tuscaloosa as Ole Miss kicked his Alabama ass.  That was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen, and I laughed all night long.

Issue here - MSU and Ole Miss have had quality competition.  Noone else has.  Should be MSU#1, Ole Miss #2.
