    Interesting Stat...Alabama will likely play 3 top 15 teams the next 5 weeks

    The last time Ohio State played a top 15 school was #15 Michigan on November 26, 2011

    Maybe Ohio St should look at joining a better conference

    They really need to take the top 50 programs and let them only schedule each other.

    That or have flexible scheduling or a playoff system with atleast 16 teams

    Their non conference schedule has been terrible and it is the single most detrimental stat to their ranking, I hope the AD has taken steps to improve the scheduling

    I think when they scheduled the home & home with Cal, Cal was relevant. The Big 10 just sucks. Ohio State is trying to beef up the schedule with OU, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, North Carolina, TCU, Northern Illinois & Oregon over the next 7-8 years, but really outside of OU and Oregon none of those teams are really going to help their strength of schedule all that much.

    Long time Buckeye fan. Totally agree with the whole strength of schedule thing. Vandy backed out on us and we in turn had to schedule somebody and that somebody was FIU. We have two bye weeks this season. It is insane to be a Buckeye fan right now. We played Cal. another cupcake. We are never going to leave the Big Ten.... This regions football is suffering due to population restructuring. The Midwest is a shyt hole to live in! Would like to add something about Florida State and the BONE LICKING all of you are giving that kid at QB are way off. That team will get ate up when facing a well coached team. I watched the kids actions and posture in the Miami game and I have played a lot of poker and can read people pretty good, he is shitting down his leg inside!!!! Hope they make it to the National Ch. game. easier money then Notre Dame.

    ^^ Unreal...last top 10 team they played was September 12, 2009 against USC. That's over 4 years ago.

    Good God the Big 10 sucks

    On that note you have to feel for the Vols, playing 7 top 20 teams.

    We have been looking really good against these teams the last three weeks. We would not struggle with the likes of UCLA or BC. That is a fact. We are undefeated for two years. A lot of these so called ranked teams are put in these spots to start a seasons and when playing them you played a team that WAS ranked. If this ranking system was any good they would have had CFU up here when they barely lost to SC. They were on my radar after seeing Bortles play against Akron two years ago. Sit next to his mom and dad. Nice folks with a son that has pro talent. My buddy screamed out, "get after the QB" and the lady shuddered next to me. We kept it down after that and the fact that he routed us. Basically the only way we will know who is better, is we got to play each other at the end of the year to see who is the last one standing. When that system is integrated Urban will be in full swing with the core group of kids he recruited and The Ohio State Buckeyes will be heard on the field-Not in a Talking forum...I won't say another word but, we won't lose another game this year some of these frauds will! Tonight? Even then we will still get snubbed.
