Ohio States schedule is weaker than Bamas??

[rmilia1]

This is what people fail to get about RPI in basketball. So much of the rankings is based on whether or not good teams schedule a team that goes 8-22 in the Summit League or 17-14. Realistically, the good team is gonna beat the shit out of either, so it really doesn't matter,

That makes sense S but who is to assume that a 6-3 Ole Miss is better than a 6-4 Iowa or that a 8-2 A&M is better than a 7-2 Wisconsin. We really only assume that based off of rankings but rankings are pretty irrelevant IMO because they are largely based on preseason predictions.

Bama I got 42-45
VaTech 7-3
TAMU 8-2
Colorado State 5-5
Ole Miss 6-3
Georgia State 0-9
Kentucky 2-7
Arkansas 3-7
Tenn 4-6
LSU 7-3

And that's the core issue ... which I mentioned in my first post.

I'm just not sold on a team whose best two wins are 7 and 10 point wins on their homefield. The bad thing for OSU is they don't really have a tough road game all year. If you don't have one of those, you should win by enough at home to convince me you would win on the road, and OSU didn't do that.

Hell, Northern Illinois' road win over you is much more impressive than any road win Ohio State is gonna get.

Ohio State held Wisconsin to 104 yards rushing ... they average 280 a game.
It was also Miller's first game back from injury, wearing a knee brace that seriously limited his mobility. He also dropped 3 TDs through the air in the first half, Ohio State went on to pound the ball and grind the clock in the second half.


Badgers fans should be thankful they played us when they did and not now ....

 

[PIBuckeye]

I got 39-45 for OSU
Buffalo 7-2
SDSU 5-4
Cal 1-9
FAMU 3-7
Wis 7-2
NW 4-5
Iowa 6-4
Penn St. 5-4
Purdue 1-8

Its really sucks because it is a "perfect storm" of normally good teams being shitty. CAL WAS good/decent a few years ago when they were scheduled probably. then you have PSU and michigan sucking ass..... Plus Wisconsin SHOULD be 8-1 right now......... it all adds up to screwing OSU......

FUCK!! My stupid program sucks. Didnt have PSU's losses in there... LOL. Well the core point of the thread is the same but now I feel stupid. Oh well.

You do know win% records are among the worse SoS indicators? If you are going to go that route, atleast use the cumulative one that takes into account the records of the teams those opponents played in order to get that record.

You are basically claiming a 7-2 Buffalo is somehow a more quality team than a 7-3 LSU with the way you are looking at the records. Which is of course complete horse shit.

 

[Rolltide94]

NOBODY claimed them as "quality wins". You were wrong. Admit and move on. Putting words in peoples mouths in a thin veiled attempt to disguise your errors won't fly.

Moral of the story: Before bashing others on their fact checking (in a rude manner no less), perhaps you should do the same.

The Win/loss record is still wrong...since you chose to run with it without actually making the effort to see if it was right, I would say your fact checking is worse than mine...at least I made the effort.

So again, if you guys want to toot your horn and pretend that Alabama and Ohio State's schedules are even remotely similar go ahead...and enjoy your Rose Bowl.

My claim was Ohio State had beaten more teams with winning records. I never stated that it meant Ohio State's schedule was better. You rebutted my statement by listing only 3 teams instead of 5. You were incorrect, and that was all I pointed out.

If your internet ego is too big to admit when you're wrong ... that's your problem. But don't put words in my mouth just to stray from the reality that your "facts" were indeed ... wrong.

I never made a claim other than what I had posted, which is 100% factual and made of no opinion what so ever. Deal with it ...

My bad it must be some other BTSBuckeye that said "Ohio State's opponents have a better win/loss record"

and I've already admitted I was wrong and why...it's at the top of the page....

 

[BTSBuckeye]

I was using the OPs stats ... if he was wrong, so be it.

But you DIRECTLY refuted my own comments. You even listed the teams. You POSTED THE TEAMS WITH WINNING RECORDS.

And you did so in a rude manner without being accurate.

THAT is what I responded to ... THAT was what you and I were talking about.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

"Ohio State's opponents are a combined 35-55 and you have not played more teams with a winning record.

Ohio St. has played Wisconsin(7-2), Iowa(6-4) and Penn St.(5-4) everybody else is below .500...Alabama has played Virginia Tech(7-3), A&M (8-2), Ole Miss (6-4) and LSU (7-3)."

^ That is what I was refuting. And no where in my rebuttal did I post that I thought Ohio State's schedule is stronger (because I don't).

"Try checking your math again...your stat would be more meaningful if it were actually true...in fact try checking all your fucking facts, because everything you've said here is bullshit."

^ And this is a bunch of hot garbage that didn't need to be posted, given you YOURSELF were wrong.

Hey guys! Let's talk about how bad Ohio State's schedule is some more!

(takes a look at Baylor's schedule and Florida State's schedule...)

Oh, hey... about Ohio State's schedule being so bad...

When you say something they become YOUR comments...that is why I responded to YOUR post. If you choose to parrot OP's erroneous info that is on YOU.

Again...I said I was wrong and why...that is on ME...Do you need me to send somebody over to suck your dick and make it all better....

 

[BTSBuckeye]

"I blame it on Fbschedules.com...Ohio State's opponents are not all sticky like they are for every other team...so clicking on Buffalo gets you last year's 4-8 team...not this year's team."

^ And this is your so-called "admission of being wrong"

Quite frankly everybody's schedule is a shit show. I'm not any more excited about Alabama's than Ohio State's...but I will defend it when somebody wants to talk about it
