    I am assuming you're trolling but confused by the angle, are you trying to pull an SEC trick and ignore what you don't want to admit or a Michigan thing and just trolling to troll?

    I wasn't disagreeing with the fact that OSU's schedules isn't really weak when compared to other schools, if you throw vandy on there and remove san diego state its probably right on par with alabama's and fsu's strength wise. The BS era is all about national perception and having the B1G second biggest named schools not being that strong(Michigan, Penn State, and Nebraska) hurts a team like OSU get more votes to get into the NC game.

    IMO OSU is the third best(being objective) team in the country behind Alabama and Baylor, think Baylor is underrated and FSU is overrated for their 1 win against Clemson.

    Also a few of those teams that you have listed are now FBS schools, unless your defining lower division as non BCS conferences (ie GA State and western KY) only 3 FBS schools played 2 or more FCS schools Clemson and GA tech have 2, and GA State has 3.

    Are you saying that either Austin Peay or UMass are now FBS?

    Honestly, if the likes of those teams, or W Ky. and Ga. State are FBS, then there should be a rule among the top 6 conferences that none of them should ever be allowed to play an FCS level school. I don't like it that Ohio St. had to schedule the likes of Florida A&M.

    Also.....in my opinion, the San Diego St. football program is every bit the equal to if not better than the Vanderbilt football program.

  • I guess there are a number of schools that have just recently become FBS level....for whatever reason, that one would have always thought should be in the lower level of schools:

    South Alabama

    Troy St.

    Florida International

    Florida Atlantic

    Georgia St.

    Western KY

    Louisiana-Lafayette

    Idaho

    UMass

    New Mex. St.

    UTEP

    UTSA ( Texas San Antonio)

    And, apparently in the next several years the following schools are also supposed to make the jump:

    Appalachian St.

    Georgia Southern

    UNC Charlotte

    Old Dominion.

  • You can thank college re-alignment and TV deals, as teams like Rutgers and Maryland move from the aac(formerly big east) and acc the old conferences need to get teams to fill the gaps from somewhere.

    I don't know that all conferences need to "fill gaps". Personally I think that an FBS conference should be capped at 12 teams....and that there should be at most 10 conferences.

    Right now, there are those 10 conferences:

    SEC

    Big Ten

    Pac-12

    Big 12

    ACC

    AAC

    Conf-USA

    MAC

    Sun Belt

    Mountain West

    120 teams....max in the division.....but there are already more than that. 122 plus another three or 4 coming in.

    OK, I could go along with each conference having either 12 or 14. So give a total max max max of 130 teams.

    But...some teams from Conf USA which has16 now need to be shifted.

    Or better, shift SMU and Houston now in the AAC back into the Big 12...and shift some of the Conf USA teams into the AAC.

    Maryland will be leaving the ACC, so it will drop down to 14, so that is good.

    So, maybe the Mountain West, now at 11 could add 1 team....in that regard, something is stupid. Idaho is now an Independent....but is joining the Sun Belt Conf? WTF? Why not join the Mountain West....wit like minded schools, not the Sun Belt.

    Stupid

    Can they? Perhaps. Will they.....it would be a lot harder for them.....and they would lose a lot of their votes likely without Winston.

  • I am thinking Auburn wins the Iron Bowl.

    Alabama looks like they are about to lose

    a lot.

    mark may will be one of them that big ten hater.

  • I think the coaches will keep OSU ahead of Auburn, and the computer sure will, with Aub's 1 loss. The Harris poll might be different, because that poll has some serious SEC bias on it

    Michigan St. is no walkover. That is a damn good team, and OSU could have trouble.

    You will have strength going against strength in OSU's offense vs. MSU's defense. The game will probably be decided by how well OSU's defense plays against MSU's offense. Ohio State's defense has been on a roller coaster ride.

    It's called propaganda, and it works. Get ESPN, all the .com sports web sites, etc. to bash OSU & the Big 10, then hype up the SEC.

    Yeah, Ohio State blew it last night, I get that. But look at this picture....please:

    Ohio St. was #2 in the early season poll, and got penalized for winning @Cal 52-34. A sloppy win they said, so you are now #3. Then, they beat FAMU, a team they shouldn't have played, 76-0, and get dropped to #4 because they didn't play anybody.

    Its called bias. I'm sick of it, and its been going on for years. Do you guys remember in 1993, we went into Wisconsin ranked #4, played to a TIE against the Badgers who were ranked in the top 10, and we got dropped 4 spots.

    You think I'm crazy? Fine. Alabama lost a game on their home field both last year and the year prior, and still played and won the BCS. Hell, they weren't even the champs of the SEC the one year (cannot recall if it was last year). Its total effing bullshit.
