I don't want this to end with a zombie apocalypse. Of course it has to if MSU has this 28 weeks later.

Updated the first post; one more week and the current Top 5 streak will be tied for #4 in program history.

The only ranking that matters is the one after the championship game.

True but it's interesting to note that our current team's national perception is up there with some of our all-time great years.

Yeah, I don't get how some of the talking heads still have us as a possible final four team.  Just saw Butch Davis this morning say MSU has all three aspects of the game down and in his mind we're still a final four team.  

I don't get it.

we will always be #1 in my mind..

I'll take Bama, and everyone else can have the field.
