I hope everyone slamming the Buckeye's schedule last year got all that crap out of their system... no more room for for at least 10 seasons. Only a handful of teams in the country have been as aggressive with their OOC scheduling as Ohio State has been since Tressel came on board.

Major ACC team? Check x4. Miami and Virginia Tech. 
I completely agree on the "got all that crap out of their system" comment. It was sad to hear all that flak about the schedule in the single year between a slate including "at Texas" and one with "at USC".

Any non-conference schedule with 2 MAC teams, one FCS and one major FBS opponent will still get criticized - regardless of the quality of the FBS team.
3 Ohio teams in one year is 2 too many imo.
I understand Tressel's desire to get the payday games to YSU, but we shouldn't be playing any FCS teams, but I digress.

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. |

I think the knock is that OSU has a weak schedule because they're in the Big 10, and the Big 10 is the suX0rz. OSU would only be the seventh best team in the SEC, or so I've read. Oh, and there's no conference championship game, and every real conference has a CCG.

I was just referring to future schedules, and including both the home and away game to get the "2x" that bkochmc posted.
So Texas wouldn't count, and I didn't count Cal since that's in doubt. But I now think the way you counted them was what he originally meant, since he didn't have "2x" for Tenn.

They've been doing that for a while already. Remember, Washington was the Rose Bowl winner when we scheduled them. | |
