re: Could this year be the last year that teams schedule easy blowout games?

People said the same last year and it turned out all right for B1G teams. The SEC West had a first week like this year and how did their bowl season turn out?
Because I choose to base my opinion of a team based on their entire body of work, not the meaningless result of the taxslayer.com bowl?

Excellent point.
Counterpoint. You're wrong.

From me, I'd take it as such.

Then you should have a pretty high opinion of Ohio State. They won three championships in a row with a third string quarterback in his only three starts to that point.

It's only going to be impacted if they skate by a few of the bad teams on their schedule, like FSU did last year. It won't matter if they win by 21+ every week.

Michigan has no QB for the foreseeable future.
And Penn state might be hiring a new coach at the current rate.
Both could be true. I think you've read enough of my posts to know that Michigan sucking makes me happy anyway.

In a few years from now we could potentially see Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Michigan in the top 10.
No, we won't. The Northeast and upper Midwest has been losing population for decades now in relation to the South and West. Plus, demographics aren't their friend, either. The number of black athletes in LA, AL, FL, GA, etc. available to SEC and other southern schools dwarfs the talent pool in OH, IN, WI and other B1G states.

I don't think I, or anyone else here for that matter, have said anything negative about ohio st. We're talking about the teams ohio st plays against.

It's a very cumulative statement. Also, the thread.

If only there was some way past that. Ohio has plenty of talent, and more than enough to fill a championship roster or two. Turns out, coaches are also allowed to recruit outside of their state.

One of these is not like the others.

Yea, it'll be debatable. If they continue with 20+ point wins they may not drop.
That'd be unprecedented committee situation.

Do you think there are 5 teams who have title aspirations that want to play Ohio State this September? I mean if we are living in a bubble and say that teams schedule games 1 year in advance, who do you think has the balls to schedule OSU this year? LSU? No Ole Miss? No Arky? No
The teams who have the balls to do it would be UGA, Bama, USCw maybe, FSU maybe? That's like it.
Scheduling is a two way road and no one wants to take an L in the first month when they can have a season to gel. Playing OSU in Sept is an awful idea in 2015

A lot of current-ranked Top 25 teams have awful OOC schedules. A lot worse than what OSU has.

I'm talking the region as a whole, not just individual states. And I don't doubt OSU recruits at an elite level. But that poster's idea that one day we may see all those teams at once in the top of the polls is ludicrous.

Here is Ohio State's, let me know where it is weak:
2016: at Oklahoma
2017: Oklahoma
2018: at TCU, Oregon State
2019: TCU, Cincinnati
2020: at Oregon
2021: Oregon
2022: Notre Dame, at Texas
2023: at Notre Dame, Texas, Boston College
impressive. Oregon State is terrible. Cincinnati and BC not so good, but all the rest are the real deal. There are no years with no really good OOC opponent. I realize Cincinnati is on an uptick, so maybe they will be pretty good. BC won one national title and usually is mediocre.

It's not a maybe. The Big Ten will eventually come back around. There's too much money floating around for it not to happen.

In reality, I don't care where they are ranked in the 1 through 4 spots. As long as they get in, it doesn't matter. And there's no way in hell the committee excludes them if they win out.
If they are really the best team, they will take care of business in the playoffs regardless if they are ranked 1, 2, 3, or 4.

LSU is known to schedule ranked OOC teams early in the season. OSU hasn't played a ranked OOC opponent in September since 2010 while LSU has played 6 in that same time frame.
