How does Ohio St draw such an easy schedule

Year after year after year. Reminds me of the Oklahoma and Nebraska schedules from the 70s and 80s.
Their claim to fame win right now is Texas who is a middle of the pack SEC team.

betting against Ohio State and Indiana in the playoffs is going to be easy money.

cant control who is on their schedule.  Not having IU or Oregon is just how megaconferences work out.  The rest of the B1G is way way way way down this year.

IU and tOSU have clobbered just about everyone in their path.  Both worthy playoff teams.  tOSU looks better and should beat IU in the B1G champ game.

you can bet against them at your own peril.  Considering what tOSU did in the playoffs last year, not reason to think they cant dominate again.  IU looks better but not sure if they can make a run.  Very much depends on who they play

They’re not remotely close to the same team as a year ago. 

Anyway the schedule looked fine preseason. Texas turned out to be a worse team, QB significantly worse than expected and even the defense has gotten shredded nearly everyone except OSU and OU - though Mateer had a broken throwing hand. 

Penn State is complete garbage and were the preseason favorite to win it all. 

Illinois was a preseason playoff dark horse darling pick and they’re not even a top 10 team in the Big 10 at this point. 

@UW is the best win this year for travel reasons alone.

They’ve stayed focused and taken care of what they’ve needed to so kudos to em for that. 

Bama with Saban used to do the same shit. Play maybe 3 good teams a year, schedule them for home games, make sure they had a bye before hand or some fcs scrub so they would always be fresh and then act like world beaters.
