FILE - In this Aug. 12, 2019, file photo, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio talks to reporters during the NCAA college football team's practice in East Lansing, Mich. Michigan State went 7-6 last season and scored only 32 points over its final four games. Even so, the Spartans are ranked 18th in the AP’s preseason poll. Although there are plenty of questions surrounding Dantonio’s team, it feels like voters decided to give Michigan State the benefit of the doubt for now. (AP Photo/Al Goldis, File)
