Michigan State football
The Spartans were slated to host the Washington Huskies in a Big Ten football game at 4:15 p.m. Saturday. They're all set in East Lansing, but the Huskies have yet to leave Seattle, placing Saturday's game in doubt.
Also complicating matters: Options are limited for a rescheduling this weekend or early next week, with MSU set to host another West Coast team next week: Oregon on Friday, Nov. 20.

University of Michigan teams
The Wolverines are set to face Oregon in football at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, after making the trip to Eugene on Thursday.
One challenge yet to come: The men's basketball team is set to host William & Mary, which is coming from Virginia, at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Detroit Lions
The Lions are well-ensconced in Munich, Germany, where they're scheduled to "host" the New England Patriots at 9:30 a.m. ET Sunday at Allianz Arena.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons, too, should have no problem with their next game, as they flew to Miami ahead of Saturday night's game after facing the Washington Wizards in D.C. on Thursday night.
Detroit Red Wings
The Wings are also in the middle of an extended road trip, as they played the Florida Panthers on the southeast side of the state on Thursday and are scheduled to face the Tampa Bay Lightning, on the western side of the state, on Saturday night. But the Wings have already arrived in Tampa and will have several days after their game against the Bolts to return to Detroit in time for their next game, slated for Nov. 18 against the Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena.
