Cool... don't really care what others think...Originally Posted by Edisto_Tiger
How did this thread become about UF? GTFO here with that. This is the OSU/Clemson Orange bowl thread.
The original comments were regarding Ohio State playing down in the bowl games and expecting some respect when they win. It was the Ohio State homers, including Tharvot, who brought Florida into the mix, and I agree Florida has nothing to do with this matchup. Again, if Ohio State is happy playing Clemson, a team that got blown out by FSU and by 2 touchdowns by South Carolina, don't expect to be ranked in the top 5, even if they win. Any team that has not beaten a top 10 team in two years does not belong in the top 5. Time to put on the "Big Boys Pants" if looking for respect. 23-1 against Cup Cakes does not mean a thing. Sorry.

Ellupo, tOSU’s OOC schedule is legendary only in YOUR mind!
ALL 3 major schools in Florida play OOC schedules that DWARF tOSU OOC slate! tOSU, has played only TWO ranked OOC opponents away in 16 seasons!!! UF has played 9, Miami has played 10 and FSU has played 11. Yep, tOSU will play anyone, anytime, anywhere, as long as they aren't ranked!
