With the Buckeyes much of it comes from continually playing a terrible schedule and playing in the worst of the big 5 conferences.

They have no credibility ever because of it. Then getting waxed on the big stage when the get opportunities only further ingrains in people's minds that they are a product of circumstance usually more than an elite team.

Being part of the weakest of the so-called "Power 5" conferences is definitely part of the anti-Ohio State bias, but when push comes to shove Ohio State never helps its own cause when they choke in the national spotlight.

No, OSU has typically played one really good team in the non-con each season

Define "really good"...

Cal?
Miami?
Colorado?
Washington?

OK maybe Virginia Tech? Not really that great...and the Buckeyes lost that one.

USC or Texas? Maybe? No because OSU lost those games too.

For the most part, these games are scheduled a few years in adavance. Not Ohio States fault if some of them are mediocre or less when they play them.

I think they beat Florida State Saturday. Who even knows if Winston plays, with the investigation opening up...and throw on top of that, that they're also investigating him for autographs now too. (Sidenote, still think they beat them with him playing)

I like Flo over Missou as well. I'd pick Georgia over Arkansas.

10 points meaning you have the most faith in that pick or you can't adjust the order of teams?

Duke at home might mess with you. Some tough picks IMO

They were reporting that yesterday because of the doubt around Winston. I think that Vegas may know something we don't know yet.

Well, when major news/sports outlets are not pulling any punches in saying that the university is blatantly covering things up solely because he's a good football player AND comparing FSU to Penn State, it's hard not to get the impression something big may have to go down in the near future.

Lol at comparing these two situations. Espn had people following Pryor in his car. Saying these kids were a problem. Now its Winston is a victim of the system. Comparing the two is just laughable.
