Michigan-Michigan State rivalry ranked among best in all of college football

The annual battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy has been ranked among best rivalries in all of college football Everyone has their opinions on the top rivalries in college football so where would you rank the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy? Well, one news service considered it one of the best in all of the sport. The Athletic has released its top 25 rivalries in college football, with the annual battle between Michigan and Michigan State cracking the list. At the top of the rankings were some of the obvious choices of Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-Auburn, Oklahoma-Texas and Army-Navy, and a little bit further down the list was Michigan-Michigan State at No. 16 in the rankings. Michigan-Michigan State came in one spot behind the recently renewed rivalry of Texas-Texas A&M and one spot ahead of Auburn-Georgia. It was also two spots ahead of Michigan-Notre Dame and ranked as the No. 5 inter-Big Ten rivalry. Check out the complete rankings in the social media post below: In my opinion (which is of course a little bias), I'd consider Michigan-Michigan State to be higher on this list. It certainly has more hate and passion to it then USC-UCLA and Nebraska-Oklahoma -- which doesn't even get played very often anymore. But still, this does pay solid respect to the annual game that carries a ton of magnitude in the state of Michigan and hopefully on the national level again soon enough.

Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore faces suspension for Jim Harbaugh-era scandal

The Connor Stalions spying saga isn't quite over for Michigan. The school now plans to suspend head football coach Sherrone Moore for two games as part of self-imposed sanctions resulting from the 2023 scouting scandal, ESPN is reporting. The suspension will reportedly be served against Central Michigan on September 13 and Nebraska on September 20. The two teams had a combined 11-14 record in 2024. has reached out to a program spokesperson for confirmation. Moore was the Wolverines' offensive coordinator in 2023 when Stalions, then a Michigan staffer, allegedly operated a sign-stealing scheme by having friends and family attend the games of future opponents and videotape sideline signals. Per ESPN, Moore's suspension is tied to allegations that he deleted a thread of more than 50 text messages with Stalions in October 2023. Moore's predecessor, Jim Harbaugh, was previously suspended for the final three games of the 2023 regular season as a result of the scandal. The NCAA cited Michigan for 11 violations in an August 2024 notice of allegations, including six Level I (the most serious) violations. The school and the NCAA are still working on a final resolution of the matter. Moore, 39, succeeded Harbaugh and guided the Wolverines to an 8-5 record (5-4 Big Ten) last season, ending with a 19-13 win against Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31. Stalions, who now volunteers at the high school level, has denied any wrongdoing. 'If I´m a bad guy, then everyone in football is a bad guy,' Stalions said on the latest release of 'UNTOLD' on the streaming service. NCAA rules do not prohibit stealing signs, a role Stalions appeared to have on Harbaugh's staff with the Wolverines, but the governing body does ban advance scouting. 'I did not obtain signals through in-person scouting,' Stalions told NCAA investigators during a virtual meeting that was recorded and incorporated into a 2024 Netflix documentary, When investigators asked Stalions if he attended the Central Michigan-Michigan State game on September 1, 2023, he said he didn't recall. At another point in the documentary, Stalions was shown alongside an image of a man wearing Central Michigan gear and sunglasses during a night game against the Spartans ahead of their game against Michigan. 'I don´t even think this guy looks like me,' he said with a smirk. Records from other Big Ten schools show Stalions bought tickets to numerous games involving future opponents and the NCAA alleges he sent those people to digitally record teams when they signaled plays. Stalions, though, insisted some of those tickets landed in the hands of people who sent him unsolicited video clips from games and refused to budge when asked about it by NCAA investigators. 'I don´t ever recall directing someone to go to a game,' he said, adding he sold some tickets and transferred others to friends. Stalions told the NCAA that he didn´t need videos of signs sent to them because he had already memorized them. In the documentary, Stalions shared details about how he deciphered signs from opposing teams by creating a database with thousands of images of him performing thousands of signals. Before Stalions graduated from the Naval Academy in 2017, he was a volunteer student coach for Ken Niumatalolo and said in the documentary that stealing signs was the role he performed at Navy. He was a volunteer for Michigan's football program for years, including when he was stationed in San Diego and slept in his car while renting his house, until Harbaugh hired him 2022. The retired captain in the Marine Corps was an analytics assistant for the Wolverines when he was suspended in October 2023, a day after the school disclosed it was under NCAA investigation. Stalions later resigned. 'I kind of went in hiding,' he said. 'They dragged my name in the mud.' NCAA investigators were asked by Stalions´ attorney if his personal data, which was obtained by a third party, was taken without consent and they said they were unable to share that information. The NCAA investigation into impermissible in-person scouting and sign stealing by Michigan hung over the second half of the team´s unbeaten season last year. Stalions attended the 2023 win over Ohio State, where former linebacker Michael Barrett confirmed in the documentary he saw him at Michigan Stadium. On the first day director Micah Brown joined Stalions for the documentary, he used his cellphone to record videos of Stalions crying in the stands as confetti fell in Houston during the Wolverines' national championship celebration after beating Washington in Houston. Harbaugh, now coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, has denied any knowledge of impermissible scouting while he was with the program. Stalions showed a game ball he was given by the program, he said for deciphering signals, after a win over Iowa in 2022. 'Don´t get the big head, Connor,' Stalions recalled Harbaugh telling him. The Big Ten suspended Harbaugh for the final three games of the 2023 regular season to punish Michigan for violating the conference´s sportsmanship policy after its investigation of the sign-stealing scheme. Stalions was not paid to appear in the documentary but was compensated for footage he provided, according to to SpringHill, the entertainment company that produced the film and is owned by LeBron James and Maverick Carter. 'They wanted to do this and they got access to Connor,' Brown said. 'No matter how people view Connor in this film, he should have a career in football and hope he is given that choice.'
