(3) Michigan St. Spartans. The Horns and Spartans have met quite a few times in college basketball. Rick Barnes and Tom Izzo faced off nine times from 2000 to 2014. But, the non-conference basketball series has never extended to college football.

Of course, Texas has only faced the Michigan Wolverines once in college football – the epic win in the 2005 Rose Bowl game. That will change in 2024 when Texas visits the Big House for the first time.

Texas should add a series with the Spartans while they’re at it. Texas feels like a Big 10 team at times. A series in East Lansing and Austin sounds like a good idea to extend their college basketball rivalry.
