Last week, men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo said he dreams of witnessing his basketball program and Mark Dantonio's football program win a national championship.
Based on the end-of-season coaches polls for each sport, it looks like Izzo's dream could happen sooner rather than later.
The Spartans finished No. 7 overall in the postseason coaches poll released yesterday, meaning both the MSU football and basketball programs finished their seasons ranked top-10. After winning the Cotton Bowl on New Years Day, MSU football finished No. 5 overall in the postseason coaches poll.
The men's basketball team went unranked in the coaches poll for much of the year, but a surprise Final Four run catapulted them to near the top of the rankings.
