With Michigan State's announced attendance of 48,000 Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium, the Big Ten owns five of the top eight 2015 spring game attendance marks.

Ohio State set the all-time spring game attendance record last Saturday, drawing an eye-popping 99,391 fans. Nebraska (76,881) and Penn State (68,000) rank No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, giving the Big Ten the nation's top three spring attendance totals.

Michigan, in Jim Harbaugh's debut, welcomed 60,000 fans, good enough for No. 7, while the Spartans' crowd comes up just behind the rival Wolverines.
