OSU, weakest IN-Conference schedule in the nation

So you are saying in ten years UT will fall off and not be one of the elite in the SEC?

Wow... you are reaching way out there in 10 years but I believe you...Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Miss St, KY and Arkansas might even be better by then and surpass the Vols. LOL

I admit you are a true Gator fan with hatorade for the Vols even ten years from now!

I'm feeling you and hope your right but then if we beat them down it was an inferior team which is in the second tier of the SEC is then the argument ...right? Good luck to you this year. Take care. TKO

bookdawg10, come play at penn state and see how easy it is. how about when penn state pretty much beat down tennessee. and i quote,

"We knew personally they werent as tough as us and you know, it showed." "I never really felt like they wanted to tackle me. We ran the same play over and over. They knew we were comin, they just couldnt match up with us." - Tony Hunt against Tennessee in the Outback bowl.

Instead of looking at 3 OOC games, OSU should look at the bulk of their pathetic, built-in 10 win schedule.

Says the man who is still trying to convince people that UGA was the best team in the nation in 2002, 2004, AND 2007 despite not having any crystal to show for it.  LMAO!  Too funny.

Guys,  Let's not bust on my CMU Chippewas for scheduling Clemson and Georgia in back to back seasons.

UGA is going to have their hands full with Dan LeFevour and Antonio Brown running the full spread offense.

The way I see it is, if you are a BCS conf school, you have to schedule someone for your extra 3 games.  I think the big schools have a hard time finding schools of equal competitive level that will agree to play them. Reason being, schools know that one loss and you are behind the 8-ball all year.  MAC teams try desperately to schedule all the games they can with the Big Ten, SEC and ACC, because they need the revenue and they need the experience that the games provide.  The big schools are caught between a rock and a hard place.  Do I schedule a smaller school that will get me a W, knowing that it will drag down my SOS, or do I schedule a like opponent and hope I win.

What is U of M supossed to do, schedule Oklahoma, Texas, Florida State and Georgia as their non conf games? 

I personally think it is silly that the Big Ten teams don't all play each other every year.  It needs to be 10 conf games and 2 non conf games make a season.  It would eliminate the teams that luck out one year and win the Big Ten because they don't have OSU and U of M on their schedule that particular year.  Look at IA, WI recently.

We are arguing points that the schools can't control.

Jimmy,

This is the kind of insane homerism that you get from these guys.  You present a list of two "Top 25" teams from last year in your post, with at least three of them being "Top 25" this year (Purdue will be in the mix with Whisky & Illinois), and you get comments about Ga Southern finishing in the top four of that "pitiful excuse".

Any time you expose something about an SEC team, such as weak OOC scheduling, you get these types of responses though.  It's to be expected. 

Understand that this is the same person who claims UGA was the best team in the nation in 02, 04, and 07 though despite not being able to bring home the crystal in ANY of those years.  No doubt he'll add 08 to the list even after they fail to win it all again. 

Simply refer him to Webster's definition of "narcissistic", and move on Brother.

UF had a great team in '06, LSU had a great team in '07.  The success of those two teams does not translate into the whole conference being great.  No one outside of those two teams really has anything to hang their hat on.

Ride their coat tails.

Wow you guys are funny.

Ohio State plays a weak "in conference schedule"

Ohio State plays "one game" a year.

For the last time Ohio State's "schedule" the past 2 years is 4-1 vs the SEC.

The schedule is "weak"?????

I dont think the SEC is "weak"

Can some one use logic to explain how some of you come to your conclusions??????

How is that so? We are talking about conference schedules. Not Vandy's vs another team.

Ohio St can not have a weak schedule if they teams they are playing are 4-1 vs the SEC, a conference not a team.

The SEC is a good conference and the teams OSU plays "in conference" look at the title of this thread, are doing well against a damn good conference.

In no, way, shape or form is Ohio St's schedule the worst in the nation. No logical person could come up with that conclusion and you know it.

Let me get this right.

The SEC has had the best teams the past 2 year, def in 06, more than likely in 07.

OSU's schedule is 4-1 vs that conference, but OSU's schedule is "weak"???

Make sense. Good God.
