What? sorry Joe but all of your comments are sort of backed up by how they were playing but this one is just stupid. I think you have already stated you hated OSU but I think we all got your point. Even if we scheduled quality teams you'd still have something negative to say, and all you can say this year is we scheduled bad teams because the Big 10 was lacking a tad. We got the point, you hate them, they suck, you are or will be going to OSU soon and will go to the games (or not) cheering for the other team.

OSU wasn't "the best" and they proved that, but scheduling easy teams is the way to go, if 1 or 2 in the L column will keep you out of a big game. Thats how its been and until something happens thats how its going to stay. I would be doing the same thing, schedule easy teams so we try to stay awary from the 1 or 2 L's. If we didn't have to worry so much about L's then we wouldn't be playing "easier" teams.

Difference being.
Niether GA or LSU were backyard football players.
It's amazing that now OSU fans are falling back to the "oh our team was weak this year and last year, that's why it was possible for an SEC team to beat us."
Before both games I had to listen to not only fans, but the media talk up OSU and their respective conference. Just like GA and Hawaii though, after the win everyone is content to say "well what did you expect?"
I expected the SEC to win every bowl game, which they almost did. Just like every other SEC fan, I am sick of listening to the hype of other conferences. Do you guys actually think that OSU, USC, And MSU could keep up with an SEC schedule???
Which of these teams would they beat if they had to play them week after week?

Ga
South Carolina
Florida
Auburn
Tennessee
Alabama
Kentucky
LSU
MSU
UM
Arkansas.
Vandy
I see three teams that are sub-par in the SEC but would still win games in other conferences.

It’s an exaggeration buddy, what makes the internet go round. You and I both know [as well as what appears to be many of the members posting on here] that OSU has had a very weak schedule for YEARS! It’s not just this past year or the one before. In 2006 they were ranked BCS preseason 1st place and didn’t lose a single game and went on to get creamed in the worst appearance in a college football nation championship game. Why, you may ask? Because they play powder puff schedules**. This year is no exception, they lost to Illinois, who were then demoralized in the rose bowl by no other than USC.

My disgust is with the weak schedules’ and watching news programs where the first 15 minutes are about football here in Columbus Ohio. The fans are no better. Remember the old rule 'They riot if they lose, the riot if they win' I personally witnessed cars being flipped after last years loss to UF basketball game! Not even football.

Powder puff: youngstown state , akron, washington, minnesota [0-8], kent state.

End of fucking fairytale for OSU. The idiots on 'Buckeye Fever' right after the game were commenting on the recruits of next year and returning players resulting in another team that could take the national championship game. What makes you think that the BCS will get a shot after two years of awful showings?

EDIT: Ohhh 2008 looks hard too. youngstown state, ohio university, troy fucking university, minnesota, northwestern, and illinois.

Wow!
Well put!

[Zya8187]

troy fucking university

Troy is no joke.

They were 8-4, in which 3 of there losses came to #21 Arkansas, #4 Florida, & #10 Georiga

I mean they aren't a great team but they aren't Youngstown state.

[PiercedE30]

You know why it is so hard for an SEC team to win a national championship? Because we beat each other up and beat each other causing us to not go to a championship. Face it, the SEC is the hardest conference to compete in.

Ga Troy was a pretty good game if I remember correctly. I would hope we were number 10 when we beat Troy, but not going into the bowl games.

Yeah, the same Georgia that would beat LSU or USC. Got a chance last year at a bowl game and were run about by WV and Slaton. We will never know, but opinions are like assholes, everyones got one. [Or two if you are a player on the current OSU team ]

You seemed to forget that we are playing USC next year.. so your weak schedule goes out the window.. So playing Texas in 2005 and 2006 is weak as well?

Also.. if look at the arrests from most of the riots, (not all) the majority of the people arrested don't even go to Ohio State.

[jflip2002]

As much as I hate OSU, and as badly as they got outplayed this year in the championship game, theyre still scary. This was their "down year"? If thats so, thats a scary thought. I hope its not true, but to get to the game on a down year is fucking nice.

Who gives a fuck about respect and if you should or shouldnt be in a game? I would schedule cupcakes too, win em all and go to the championship game. Id take that extra $4mil or whatever and run with it.

I'm sorry but one game does not make up for the 5 or so chump games.
