Came across this write up today on MSU. "2016 Must-win game"

Can't say I disagree that the USCe game is probably State's most important game, just based off of it being an early season conference match-up against a "beatable" opponent at home that can set the tempo for the first half of the year. I would disagree with the writer on the premise of us losing the game would jeopardize our bowl streak. I still think six wins can be attained.

I found the last line to be amusing. "Lose, and the talk of returning to the cellar of the West will come back in full force." Isn't that talk in full swing with all the media already? My take...with Dak gone, I think no one knows what to expect, so the easiest prediction is a complete fallout.

Thoughts?

That's an incredibly boring pick. It's the equivalent of picking UK. "must win" for what? A better pick would be home games the next level up: TAMU or UPigg or even rival AU. If you're looking to stay out of the cellar, beating somebody in the West would be a prerequisite.

A better argument is even BYU.
