That totally wreaks of "hey, let's schedule a PAC 10 team, but make sure it is one that is consistently fraudulent".

Notice they weren't trying to schedule an Oregon or USC kind of team that is historically pretty good year in and out.

No, they choose the Cals/Washington's of the world that are a once every 10 years or so kind of good team.

It is very transparent.
This post has so much fail it's hilarious. Ohio State played USC in 08-09 and have scheduled Oregon for 20-21 I believe. You gotta do better than that.

Look what happened.

It is why they moved away from it.

I am not impressed by a game scheduled 10 years out.

Cal also has the #2 SOS so them being 1-11 isn't to be unexpected under a new coaching staff.

Please post phone records showing no one at OSU approached anyone in the PA12 other than Cal mmkay?

Not sure it's possible for you to be any more clueless but I have faith you'll continue to try.

This strength of schedule thing is so fucking retarded. Of course the SEC teams will almost ALWAYS have tougher strength-of-schedule, when there are so many teams in the conference who have inflated rankings (see Georgia, LSU, etc.). When the SEC dominated press and all the other nut huggers want to rank them all high for no reason (SEC, SEC, SEC!!!), it's going to automatically boost everyone in the conference's sos. You could probably look at just about any team in the SEC east, and they would have a better sos than tOSU, b/c of the inflated "rankings."

Actually, FSU was down two touchdowns to crappy Boston College, and although they wound up winning by 2 TDs, it took an FSU Hail Mary TD right before the half to make this score look better than it really was. I repeat ... Boston College, a .500 team in a bad conference, gave the Seminoles all it could handle.

Lets put one more win in the books before we even dare think about FSU. Dantonio loved what he saw yesterday (both sides of the ball ) and if you think yesterday was a dogfight get ready for bow-wow II next Sat.

"I am not impressed by a game scheduled 10 years out."

Unfortunately that's how it works. Obviously you can't predict what team will be good in that timeframe, but for the most part Ohio State has nailed it. Texas twice, USC twice, Miami twice and that is how it goes. I would enjoy debating anyone that thinks that Ohio State didn't do their part in trying to schedule quality games. Certainly Cal was horrible this year - epically horrible but at the time of scheduling Ohio State didn't know that. That is better than playing Middle Tennessee State in mid-November, which many SEC programs do.

Agreed but in all fairness, I didn't see anything particularly impressive in MSU's win over Minnesota. I think OSU rolls.

I agree and it is part of the process. California-Berkeley didn't live up to their reputation when the game was scheduled. For purposes of the national championship game Ohio State needs to present a story. IMO Michigan State is a tough opponent, and winning that game deserves a spot in the game. We will see.

Also, let's not forget that an 8-4 Vandy team backed out of a scheduled game this year, forcing the FAMU game on us.

Incorrect.

San Diego State was the replacement.

Also, Auburn's out of conference schedule:

Washington State
Arkansas State
Western Carolina
Florida Atlantic

A combined 21-27.
By 14 points at that

If you chink OSU for a weaker schedule (not weaker than FSU).....you have to chink Auburn for Georgia giving them the win

Just to keep people up to speed, this is Auburn's non-conference opponents which mostly involves Clemson!

2012:

Clemson
Louisana-Monroe
New Mexico St. (in November)
Alabama A&M (also in November)

2011:

Utah State
Clemson
Florida Atlantic
Samford (in November)

2010:

Arkansas St.
Clemson
Louisana-Monroe
Chattanooga (in November)

2009:

West Virginia (at least it is not Clemson)
Louisiana Tech
Ball State
Furman (in November)

How do you compare that to Ohio State, that plays Texas, USC and Miami?

This is correct, SDSU did Ohio State a solid. I suppose Vandy acted rationally with dropping the game, and $1.4M since they get a bowl bid this year.

What is the difference between November and September scheduling of cupcakes? It still is an easy win regardless

Yeah, I have never really understood this. People like to use the "bye week" excuse. But even playing a game against a God awful team is still playing a game.

IMO it is a late season bye-week, which is lame.

Not in the B1G, it isn't allowed unless there is a major scheduling mishap. That can happen, but it isn't encouraged.
