What a terrible non-conference schedule. How can you prepare a team to play a conference game after one month of shite competition.

Is this the norm up there?

are you J?

OSU has a pretty great run of OOC games since at least 2005 (when they started a home/home with Texas)

They are usually better than that and have one tough game. It looks ridiculous on the years they are all at home. Next year is bad, but they go to Cal. I see that Beamerball is on the schedule in the following years.

B1G teams are going to go the Wisconsin scheduling route now with Nebraska in the conference, plus the championship game.

One game at a time. Savannah St is way worse than any of LSU's OOC opponents.

For the record, that is FSU not UF, not sure if you were confused...

Slow, I was thinking about that last week, just slipped my mind in OP, but def, LSUs OOC schedule is weak, and was lined up real early. I have always been fond of how the Gators schedule OOC play.

I'm sure there have been season opening schedules that have been way worse than this. At least all of these teams are FBS opponents. And one is a BCS conference member.

Savannah St plus Murray St is the worst non-conference slate ever

Here is a worse 4 game stretch to start a season:


2011 Florida Gators:

Sat, Sep 3 Florida Atlantic W 41-3
Sat, Sep 10 UAB W 39-0
Sat, Sep 17 Tennessee W 33-23
Sat, Sep 24 @ Kentucky W 48-10

Oregon had Arkansas State, Fresno State, and Tennessee Tech. We had Kansas State and New Mexico drop out of their agreement with us and had to scramble to replace them. Fresno was probably an upgrade from New Mexico.

The previous four years we've had Boise, @Boise, @Tennessee, and @LSU so I don't mind the cupcakes this year, especially since I am not a season ticket holder.

We have home and homes scheduled with OK and V-Tech. UCF and Cal aren't powerhouses by any stretch, but they aren't pushovers.

There has been worse. Hell, OSU scheduled every team in Ohio just a few years ago.

quote:

Sat, Sep 1 Miami (OH) W 56-10

At least they're FBS. In state school that won 10 games in 2010

quote:

Sat, Sep 8 UCF W 31-16

Again, FBS soon to be Big East team that won 11 games including vs. UGA in 2010.

quote:

Sat, Sep 15 California W 35-28

This is a home and home vs a Pac 12 team that's generally respectable. I don't see the knock here.

Not a good team, not likely a competitive game no matter when scheduled. At least it's FBS

You fricking serious?

A) There's plenty worse out there this year
B) That's not even close to the worst OOC schedule OSU has had.
