Michigan State Gained Zero Votes in First Amway Coaches Poll
It won't come as a shock to Spartan fans, but Michigan State football received zero votes in the first Amway Coaches Poll (powered by USA Today Sports), which comes out weekly throughout the regular season.
The poll uses a panel of 65 head coaches from Bowl Subdivision schools – each individual submits their own top-25; however, Mel Tucker's Spartans were left out in the cold this time.
The Big Ten is represented by Penn State (No. 7), Wisconsin (No. 12), Michigan (No. 15), Minnesota (No. 18), and Iowa (No. 23). Indiana (1) and Nebraska (3) also received votes.
