Not turning a blind eye to Delaware. My argument is there isn't much difference in playing a bottom dweller FBS and FCS school vs. two FCS schools. Both schedules would result in near-automatic wins.
As was pointed out earlier, it definitely matters who those teams are. North Dakota State and McNeese State would be less of a negative than NC A&T and Delaware.
If you really want the comparison, here it is:
Virginia Tech (42) - South Carolina (71)
Western Michigan (65) - Illinois (72)
Northern Illinois (70) - NC A&T (154)
Hawaii (166) - Delaware (193)
Notice that every single team Ohio State played OOC, but Hawaii, is ranked ahead of every single team UNC played OOC. UNC also has a loss against that. A win over Clemson brings UNC closer, but they're still a good bit behind.

OOC sure. If we're really going to compare OSU vs. UNC (should UNC win this weekend) then this would be the more appropriate comparison as UNC will have played one more game:
#1 Clemson------------------------------UNC
#5 MSU----------------OSU
#19 Michigan-----------OSU
#34 Pitt---------------------------------UNC
#42 VT-----------------OSU---------------UNC
#46 Miami--------------------------------UNC
#47 NCSU---------------------------------UNC
#51 PSU----------------OSU
#53 GT-----------------------------------UNC
#57 Duke---------------------------------UNC
#65 Western Michigan---OSU
#66 Minnesota----------OSU
#67 Indiana------------OSU
#70 Northern Illinois--OSU
#71 South Carolina-----------------------UNC
#72 Illinois-----------OSU---------------UNC
#76 Virginia-----------------------------UNC
#85 Maryland-----------OSU
#93 Wake Forest--------------------------UNC
#97 Rutgers------------OSU
#154 NC A&T-------------------------------UNC
#166 Hawaii-------------OSU
or
UNC / OSU
1 > 5
34 < 19
42 = 42
46 > 51
47 > 65
53 > 66
57 > 67
71 < 70
72 = 72
76 > 85
93 > 97
154> 166
Broken down that way....who had the tougher schedule if UNC wins this weekend? They are very similar, but the edge should go to UNC.
