Georgia might be more explosive and talented than Ohio State, but the Bulldogs' schedule is much tougher.

Using ESPN's own rankings system, whatever it may be, Georgia's schedule is indeed tougher....
Plays #5 Florida, # 10 Auburn #12 LSU #13 ASU and #15 Tennessee
Ohio State plays the "much" weaker schedule of
#4 USC
#16 Illinois
#18 Wisconsin
#24 Michigan State
#25 Penn State
Friggin idiots. I don't know why anyone would take them seriously. Using their own rankings, I'm hard pressed to find the "MUCH" here... I could live with "Georgia plays a tougher schedule than Ohio State" because at least the remark is internally consistent. Instead, we're left to assume spots 16 - 25 of the poll are far and away worse than 10 - 15. Is Auburn better than Penn State? Sure. But, I'm not sure they're all that much better than Illinois...
I digress... my real problem with this "poll" is that having Penn State ranked at all is proof positive they're just mailing this one in.
