They are so much better over the last 3 years than any team not named Bama in that conference, and they are probably equal to Bama over that span

Ole Yellar has said that the Vols are gonna beat them by 21+ and if they don't he would suck everyone's dick behind the dumpsters in the Georgia Dome parking lot before the SECCG

I wouldn't say "so much better". Would they have competitive in the SEC? Definitely, but I wouldn't say they would definitely win every game minus Bama. Trade OSU with LSU, Arkansas or any other SECW team, and it would even things out a little.

Meet up for a tailgate again this year? I'll be at BGSU, Tulsa, Indiana and Michigan.

I think I have your number but don't remember what it's saved under.

Jesus, you've gone full retard.

If you think that your team has anywhere near the overall talent level of Ohio State right now you are one of the most delusional Michigan fans out there and that's saying a lot.

All LSU or Alabama, or even Ole Miss for that matter care about is a four game stretch every year. Alabama has been carrying that conference's 'reputation' for three years now.

If this comment is meant to insinuate that Ohio State is on the level of those programs I don't know what to tell you other than you're dead wrong. LSU isn't consistent enough to be at Ohio State's level right now and comparing any other SECW team not named Alabama to them as a program is laughable.

Not meant to insult and not saying that OSU is on the level of any other program in the country. What I am saying is that OSU is definitely talented but to act like they play any type of schedule that is comparable to any other conference is silly to me.

OSU played 10 unranked teams in a row last year to start the season and lost against the first ranked team they played at home. You can't tell me that if they played a more difficult schedule, they may have a harder time winning on an Alabama type level.

True, but when Bama wins they all win. I believe they all get a share of the trophy as well.

Ohio Sate has been doing the same thing. I don't understand what point that makes.

Ohio St. Is still the class of the big ten until Michigan can beat them. So yes, barring any injury I see a 10 or11 win season before the bowls.




It's laughable how wrong you are on so many things...

And this is this year. 12th hardest schedule listed on the site that has LSU with the toughest schedule.

@Oklahoma
@Penn State
@Wisconsin
@Michigan State
Nebraska at home
Northwestern at home
Michigan at home

The last 6 are consecutive with the exception of @Maryland on November 12th.

ETA: Ohio State played two ranked (at the end of the regular season) teams last year and Alabama played three. I'm not seeing much of a difference.

They beat the SEC and Pac 12 champ to win the title. No matter what you want to say, they beat the champs from the 2 alleged best conferences. And they beat a team (Michigan State) on the road who beat the winners of the Big 12

Last year, OSU boatraced ND in the Fiesta bowl, the same ND who was within a field goal of both Stanford and Clemson, both of those games on the road.

I'm not saying OSU should be in the top 6 right now, I would have them in the 8-12 range myself, but they have beaten 5 TOP 10 end of year teams the last 2 years (MSU, Michigan, ND, Bama, Oregon) and Wisconsin by 60


Granted, I thought y'all were definitely the better team in that game and would have beaten us no matter what (and were probably the best team in the country post-MSU), but we were pretty damn beaten up on defense at that point in the year - we only had three starters left from August's starting 11 on D after Smith got hurt. I am not sure it is fair to compare the ND team y'all played against to the ones Clemson and Stanford played against.

No doubt. Going to be a good season. I haven't said anything about it though. Just presented the fact that over the last 3 years, since Urban has been there, they have had a cupcake schedule.

Really? Bama played 7 ranked teams throughout the season not including the Playoff game and NC Game. OSU played 2 all season minus bowl game. If you don't see a difference in scheduling, I'm not sure what to say.

I'm glad they have a better schedule this year. Maybe one loss won't stop them from going to the Playoffs and all I'm trying to say is that it is not comparing apples to apples when comparing OSU to Bama. And I agree that they have an extremely talented team and have sent plenty of talent to the league.

If you're counting teams as ranked teams at the time the game was played I don't know what to tell you. That bullshite was debunked a long time ago.

Other than that we seem to agree more than we disagree.
