The Michigan State Spartans held steady in both polls this week. The Spartans stayed at No. 10 this week in both the Associated Press Poll and the USA TODAY Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll after a shorthanded squad struggled, but won, against High Point and then had to comeback in the second half to defeat Northwestern over the past week’s action.
