I have to say, not a very exciting schedule to me. Florida, Florida State, and South Carolina are the 3 best non-conference teams? Really? Just seems very down for as good as the Buckeyes should be this year.

They are taking the SEC football approach..since the conference is SOOO tough...we have to lighten up the non conf. schedule.
But don't disagree...no big time non conf. games. Although Fla "should" be pretty good/improved as they return most of their team from last year.

Off the top of my head, that is one of the worst out of conference schedules I have ever seen.

I mean the entire schedule in general is so favored to have them run the table its ridiculous. Must be nice to be able to fall back on your name for reputation, because that shit is weak.

A notre dame fan complaining about a school falling back on their name. That's pretty funny.

Too bad all the preseason games that might be close to decent are on the road. :-/

Xavier basketball though. Lets compare OOC schedules now

Not conference, please don't look at the conference schedules..

Thus the reason one school can beef up OCC schedule compared to another who plays in a very good, possibly the best conference in college basketball.

Oh I get to tell you that you're full of shit waaay ahead of schedule. How exciting..

The only OOC game I see Ohio State being an underdog in will be at Florida. Outside of that, they should have a very successful pre-conference run.

Lol....let me guess...."The big east is SO MUCH BETTER"

More good teams are in the top tier of the Big East, but the capital letters probably not. Just better than the Big 10. The Big 10 is better than the Pac 10 though!

atlantic 10 and then everyone else..... xavier is just too good!

Last year the Big 12 was the best.

We'll see what's in store for this season.

For sure. Xavier and Temple just dwarf the rest of the country. No contest!

Now if that isn't original I don't know what is..

Tell me, do they win a national championship that year?

I'm not sure.

Tell me, does Xavier advance to the Sweet 16 that year?

Or has Xavier ever made it to the Final Four?

If Xavier sucks, to beat them is such a big deal why?

If OSU's so good, why is such a big deal to lose to them?

Its called the little brother syndrome. CinciX has been suffering from it for years.

I don't really see why the comparisons to Xavier and OSU get brought up so much. You guys continuously tell me that Xavier sucks, but then point out that OSU is better. So congrats on being better than a team that sucks? Some excellent logic right there.

When I make a comment about OSU basketball, it is not laced with 'Xavier is better' in every sentence. Get the fuck over yourselves. Way more people than just Xavier fans look at the OOC schedule and laugh, its not just unique to me.

I never said anything about Xavier, but its obvious that you get off to bashing OSU....am I wrong? So please refer to my previous post. My advice....get over it.
