Spartans one of few Big Ten teams with below .500 win total over-under
The Spartans have missed out on the bowl season each of the last three years, and this year it appears the oddsmakers believe that'll be the same again. Circa Sports has released updated win totals for every Big Ten team for the upcoming season, with Michigan State listed at 5.5 wins as the over-under total.
From the Big Ten, only six other teams have a posted win total that is under bowl eligibility -- those teams are:
Michigan State is coming off a 5-7 season last year, which was the first campaign under new head coach Jonathan Smith. Before that, the Spartans went 5-7 in 2022 and 4-8 in 2023.

Fever vs Dream: How many points did Caitlin Clark score today?
After her comments on the Indiana Fever's (10-10) team-wide struggles during an 80-61 loss on Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries, Caitlin Clark and the Fever responded with an emphatic victory against the Atlanta Dream (12-8) Friday night from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Although the team shot a scorching-hot 35-of-76 from the field, a season-high 11-of-30 from deep, and 18-of-20 from the charity stripe for an offensive output of 99 points, Clark once again was a bit off regarding her own shooting accuracy against the Dream. As a final stat line, Clark scored 12 points on 5-of-17 from the floor, 1-of-7 from 3-point territory, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line. She also registered nine rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes of action. Even though her second contest back from a five-game absence with a left groin injury, Clark's success from 3-point territory was still a struggle. However, the former Hawkeye counteracted her long-range shooting difficulties by attacking the paint and converting on layups in her short periods of play. Along with Clark's 11 points, Sophie Cunningham, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell all scored in the double-digits Friday night. Mitchell would lead the team with 25 points on 9-of-16 from the field, 3-of-7 from 3-point territory, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line in addition to three assists, two blocks, and one steal in 25 minutes. While Atlanta's Jordin Canada entered halftime with a career-high-tying 26 points on a scorching 10-of-15 from the field and 6-of-9 from 3-point territory, Indiana's swarming defense and adjustments saw Canada only put up four points in the game's final 20 minutes. In total, Indiana's defense was incredible by forcing 14 Atlanta turnovers, including eight steals and three blocks. This strong performance fueled the Fever's offensive eruption in the third and fourth quarters as Atlanta struggled to slow Indiana's confident play. Even though Clark only had a slightly improved offensive outing compared to her performance against Golden State, the star guard is still producing in other areas, such as rebounds and assists, to aid her teammates. Clark and the Fever will look to replicate their success during their next game on Sunday, when they host a matchup vs. presumptive 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year favorite Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings (6-15) from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. That game will begin at noon CT and be broadcast on ABC. Fans can also stream the game via Fubo, which offers a free trial to first-time customers.

USA Today ranks Texas A&M's Kyle Field as one of best SEC stadiums
Texas A&M's well-documented success at Kyle Field since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012 has placed the Aggies in the upper echelon of gameday environments in the league, according to a recent ranking by USA Today. That is a testament to the electric factory formed by members of Aggieland who turn every Saturday into one of the loudest environments in college football. Over 13 years in the conference, Texas A&M has never lost more than three contests at home in a single season, while also boasting a 61-23 overall record. The stadium's capacity of 102,733 ranks fourth in the country and first in the SEC, trailing only Penn State, Michigan and Ohio State. Per Texas A&M's record books, Kyle Field has averaged at least 100,000 fans five times since 2014. During the 2014-2014 season, the program set the single-game attendance record against Ole Miss, as 110,633 fans showed up with rally towels in hand to cheer on the Aggies. The Maroon and White faithful made the environment so loud that the noise in the stadium replicated a jet engine at 117 decibels. USA Today national college football columnist Blake Toppmeyer recently ranked all 16 SEC football stadiums, placing the Aggies at No. 7 on the list. "Kyle Field towers like no other, and it literally shakes when the noise swells," Toppmeyer said. "Love or mock the Aggie Yell Leaders, you can't deny they create a unique scene, and the Aggies entering to "POWER" is one of college football's best intros." Here are Toppmeyer's SEC football stadiums rankings: While Kyle Field ranks as one of the top environments in the country per Toppmeyer's list, the environment also ranks as the No. 11 most difficult place to play in the EA Sports College Football 26 video game. The multitude of rankings placing the gridiron in Bryan-College Station, Texas, seem to all be in a consensual agreement that the Aggies' stadium has consistently been one of the best in college football.

SEC Network schedule for Texas A&M takeover revealed
The 2024 calendar year for Texas A&M Athletics was both memorable and forgettable, depending on the sport. However, nothing matches the departure of former Aggies head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle from the program just days after A&M fell to Tennessee in the College World Series Championship matchup, leaving to join the Texas Longhorns in an unpredictable move that only enhanced the rivalry that was renewed on the gridiron a year ago. Still, Texas A&M's championship run was by far one of the most exciting seasons in program history, and will remain in a positive light despite Schlossnagle leaving. Outside of baseball, the softball team nearly made it to the College World Series before losing to Texas in the Super Regionals, while the men's basketball team, during Buzz Williams' final year at the helm, made it back to the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive season. Texas A&M's 2024 football team entered a new era under head coach Mike Elko, who returned to College Station after two seasons leading the Duke Blue Devils and serving as Jimbo Fisher's defensive coordinator for four seasons. Elko and his new staff were provided a muligan like every new head coach, but after building a 7-1 record despite several key injury issues, the loss of star running back Le'Veon Moss, paired with then-freshman QB Marcel Reed's issues in the pocket, were too much to overcome. Despite A&M's 1-4 finish, there were plenty of incredible moments, including the comeback win over LSU during an electric night inside a packed Kyle Field. On Friday, it was announced that Texas A&M will take over the SEC Network's schedule, an annual event that typically occurs in July.
