[btn-post-package]It will be 2016 in just a couple days.
To help usher in the New Year, we're reliving some of the best in Big Ten football from a highly successful 2015 calendar year that saw Ohio State win the inaugural College Football Playoff in early January and three teams finish the 2015 season in the top 10 of the final CFP Rankings.
Up today: Top 5 Big Ten finishes of 2015.
One look at this list, and it's reconfirmed that Michigan State had its share of thrilling finishes in 2015. The Spartans own four of the five finishes, in fact, and it's hard for one to argue that each one isn't worthy of inclusion.
For what it's worth, our favorite finish is the Spartans' memorable walk-off touchdown vs. rival Michigan at Michigan Stadium.
Agree?
