contradiction
 Pregame media coverage of the 2011 Orange Bowl focused on the manner in which the two teams involved had reversed their fortunes during the 2010 college football season . Stanford had its longest winning streak since 1991 its most wins in history , and was four years removed from a one @-@ win season , while Virginia Tech became the first team in college football history to win 11 consecutive games in a season after losing its first two . The two teams had never played each other , but they shared a common 2010 opponent , Wake Forest . Before the Orange Bowl , Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe said he didn 't see much difference in quality . Another point of conversation was the poor performance of the ACC in nonconference games and Virginia Tech 's poor past performance against teams ranked in the top 5 . The Hokies had won just one of 27 games against teams in that category . Partially because of this factor , spread bettors favored Stanford by three points when the first odds were released December 10 , a margin that various organizations either kept constant or raised to 3 @.@ 5 points by the day of the game . It was the first time all season the Hokies were point spread underdogs .

 For the January 2011 games , the Sugar Bowl selected first , followed by the Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl . The Sugar Bowl picked Ohio State , which left the Orange Bowl to decide between two teams contractually bound to appear in a BCS bowl game . These were Stanford , which was guaranteed a BCS bid by its No. 4 national ranking , and Connecticut , champion of the Big East Conference . Favoring Stanford 's potential to draw a large television audience , the Orange Bowl selected the Cardinal , leaving Connecticut to the Fiesta Bowl .

contradiction
 The game was Michigan 's first against a ranked opponent in the 2011 season . Michigan 's record against Michigan State in the overall series dropped to 68 – 35 – 2 , while its record in games involving the Paul Bunyan Trophy dropped to 35 – 23 – 2 . Denard Robinson 's passing performance put him over 4 @,@ 000 yards in his career , the 10th Michigan quarterback to do so , and his rushing performance moved him past Tim Biakabutuka for 10th place . Punter Will Hagerup placed four of his seven punts inside Michigan State 's 20 @-@ yard line , and three of those inside the 15 @-@ yard line . The victory was Michigan State 's fourth in a row against Michigan , the first time Michigan State had done this since a streak between 1959 and 1962 .
