The really sad thing is that, outside of USC, the majority of teams that play a "brutal" schedule wind up with some combination of FBS and MAC/Sun Belt/WAC/Conf. USA opponents that make up 3/4 of their non-conference games and, at most, 1 BCS team as a cherry on top of the non-conference schedule. Yet
OSU gets singled out for having a weak schedule for having the
gall to make sure that their compensation for home series non-conference games stays in OH rather than going to some directional Louisiana school. The hypocrisy really chaps my ass.
