Maybe Boise deserves more credit for not slipping up every year, like some others do (USC and OSU the last 2 seasons). They do what they are supposed to do every single game.

And yes, point spreads are relevant. It shows that no one takes OSU's opponents serious.

This ended up being a comparison of Boise and OSU's schedule, and that's fine. But my only point is to give credit where credit's do, and that it's ironic when Buckeye fans are so openly critical of Boise's schedule.

And as I said before, I was talking about the ACC, Big East and the Big 10. Admittedly that SEC, Pac 10 and Big 12 play tougher schedules week by week.

But what would the reaction be if Michigan State was undefeated and we were discussing their resume?

A loss to TCU/Boise/upper tier mid major is a crushing because in many people's opinion, Ohio State shouldn't lose to those schools. Ohio State has absolutely nothing to gain.

Finally, a consensus.

LSU/Stanford can gain, as well, but I'm willing to bet that Wisconsin takes a big leap as a backup plan for an upset since LSU/Stanford aren't going to get into the title game over their conference counterparts even if those teams lose.
