Michigan State football dropped five spots in Week 13 of the AP Poll after a brutal 56-7 loss to No. 2 Ohio State yesterday. They now stand 9-2 overall and have one more game to play before postseason standings and action is decided – they will face the Penn State Nittany Lions at noon on Nov. 27 at Spartan Stadium.

1: Georgia (11-0)

2: Ohio State (10-1)

3: Alabama (10-1)
