By ChrisVannini

MSU is "28th" in the Coaches Poll, in the receiving votes category. This is what I expected.

You can see the whole poll here.

As for other Big Ten teams, Ohio State is 2, Michigan is 17, Nebraska is 18, Northwestern is 22 and Wisconsin is 23. No other Big Ten team is receiving votes (Penn State is ineligible).

MSU opponents in the poll include Notre Dame (11), Michigan, Nebraska and Northwestern.
