OSU has always tried to schedule good OOC games, but the 8 home games was an aberration and certainly not the norm.
I was just looking at OSU's schedule history, and they almost always have not one, but at least two OOC BCS schools on the schedule, and they're almost always going on the road once in the OOC sked. OSU won't lose any home games with the 9-game B1G sked.

I know OSU has Colorado, Vandy or Cinci (on neutral site?) planned as the "second" OOC BCS game in the next couple years, but it has been a while since they have scheduled two. And those were probably on the docket since before the BCS. The point is that after the BCS system started, most non-USC teams are only scheduling around one OOC BCS game per year.


Miami in 2010
USC in 2009
USC in 2008
Washington in 2007
Texas in 2006 (Cincinnati was scheduled before BigEast move)
Texas in 2005
NCState in 2004
Washington and NCState in 2003
Texas Tech and Washington St in 2002
UCLA in 2001
Arizona in 2000
2+ before that like a lot of schools but moreso for OSU.

Your point about the Pac10 not playing OOC BCS games after going to a 9 game conference schedule also doesn't match the schedules. Heck, the SEC has played tons of games against them over the last few years alone.
