MSU Football schedules cupcakes in 2013, 2014

Spartan Nation: let's grade the football non-conference schedules for the next three years. The ES gives a high grade of a B- for 2012. Then, 2013 and 2014 are pathetically uninteresting and uncompetitive. Jacksonville State in 2014? Come on. Which team would you schedule for MSU to play in the open date of September 6, 2014? Hopefully another major BCS-caliber football program like the Oregon Ducks. The ES hates scheduling revenue-generating bottom-feeders.

2012: Grade = B-.
Aug. 31 BOISE STATE
Sept. 8 at Central Michigan
Sept. 15 NOTRE DAME
Sept. 22 EASTERN MICHIGAN

2013: Grade = C-.

Sept. 14 YOUNGSTOWN STATE
Sept. 21 at Notre Dame

2014: Grade = C.
Aug. 30 JACKSONVILLE STATE
Sept. 6 TBD
Sept. 13 at Oregon
Sept. 20 EASTERN MICHIGAN
