Michigan State Was CloserThanThis to Being Number 4 in the Latest Championship Football Rankings

On Sunday night, the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released. Michigan State is ranked No. 5 and Iowa is ranked No. 4. And, as we all know, only the top four teams will have a chance to play for the NCAA championship

BUT, on Sunday, according to MLive.com, there was a lot of debate among the CFP members over who would be ranked No. 4. Michigan State is so strong now that they almost leap-frogged over the undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes.

Alas, we'll have to wait to decide who's really No. 4 on Saturday night, when the two play for the Big 10 championship. At 8:17PM on Fox.

Here's everything you need to know about the match-up - and State's immediate future.

Go Green. Go White.
