Yeah don't really care about the guesses of the top 25 (explained why in a bit). OSU schedules a tough OOC opponent for nearly every season. If a team they scheduled falls off the map (you should understand this) that is not on OSU.

sorry you went to so much trouble as I barely even looked. I mean, a list that has OSU with only 6 top 10 teams as though this matters when they have scheduled ND (multiple times), TX (multiple times), USC, Oklahoma, Miami, Fla, Oregon and washington among others...all home and home? and of course upcoming with Bama, UGA and Texas

try again.....any thoughts on the team you allegedly cheer for this season (or is CFB just about schedules for you)?

You apparently have NOT been paying attention to this thread. I have looked at OSU schedule and It is so-so at best.



One game does NOT make a season. One game does NOT make a pattern.


Yes, they play 1 FCS team (Samford), 1 G5 team (Central Florida) and 7 Top 25 teams compared to 0 FCS teams, 3 G5 teams (Western Michigan, Marshall, and Akron) and only 3 ranked teams for OSU. You lose!

Bunch of blah-blah-blah from you. Here's a reminder of something you said yesterday and why I commented.

OSU might also be an also-ran if they played Florida's schedule> -->But, we will never know since OSU won't play tough teams.<--

You said Ohio State plays no tough teams this season.

Alrighty then. :crazy:

They only go on the road and play a top 5 Oregon team while your Gators play Samford, an FCS team.

As a Florida fan because your team plays a cupcake from a lower division you shouldn't be saying anything about who the Buckeyes play OOC this season.

Keep crying about Ohio State. It's funny.

you sayin you were listing all the OSU OOC P5 games then not listing all their P5 games.
What is this gibberish?? What are you talking about? If I said all of OSU's OOC P5 games, why would I list all P5 games (In and out of conference)?

If I am talking about just OOC P5 I will say OOC P5. I have every game played by every P5 team from 1990 to 2023. Do you want a list of ALL of OSU's opponents? Do you want a list of ALL of OSU's OOC opponents? Do you want a list of all of OSU's P5 opponents ? Do you want a list of OSU's OOC P5 opponents? I have been restricting my listings to NON-Bowl games but if you want I can include those as well. You can pick any combination you want and OSU will still NOT have played a very tough schedule.

Just tell me what you want me to post!

Compared to other teams - NO!

They only go on the road and play a top 5 Oregon team while your Gators play Samford, an FCS team.

According to the Massey Composite rankings, you are short-changing OSU! OSU travels FOUR times: to #4 Oregon, #7 Penn State, #59 Northwestern, & #84 Michigan State.

Plus OSU plays at home: #6 Michigan, #27 Iowa, #49 Nebraska, #64 Purdue, #87 Indiana, #92 Marshall, #114 Western Michigan, & #129 Akron.

As a Florida fan because your team plays a cupcake from a lower division you shouldn't be saying anything about who the Buckeyes play OOC this season.

This is stupid even by your standards! Since when does the worst team on someone's schedule determine the total SOS? Let's line-up our schedules: Blue means Florida plays the tougher opponent and Red means OSU played the tougher opponent.

Uf plays the toughest schedule & OSU' schedule isn't even on the radar screen!

Keep crying about Ohio State. It's funny.
For once I agree with you - OSU's schedule is a joke!

I just think your hatred of anything Ohio State is funny. Please continue. And I mean all season long.

Maybe you're upset the Gators aren't as relevant as the Buckeyes?

Are you still angry that Meyer left duh Swamp and ended up in Columbus?

And Akron is still an FBS team. You know who isn't? Samford. Your team plays a lower division cupcake this season.

I didn't tell you to post anything....in your attempt to show a team that schedules well OOC does not schedule well OOC you tried to list all the OOC P5 opponents from 1990. Didn't take long to discover you missed some (then I stopped checking).

Lie, dance, deflect, distort you cannot get around this major gaffe of yours......but I'll laugh watching you try.

My god are you dense! You won't read post then react to them like a little girl - stomp your feet and call names.

sorry you went to so much trouble as I barely even looked. I mean, a list that has OSU with only 6 top 10 teams as though this matters when they have scheduled ND (multiple times), TX (multiple times), USC, Oklahoma, Miami, Fla, Oregon and washington among others...all home and home? and of course upcoming with Bama, UGA and Texas
How many F'ing times do I have to point out to you the difference between your fantasy world and reality.
Yes, OSU played ND 4x, Texas 2X, USC 3x, Oklahoma 2x, Miami 3x, Oregon 1x, and Washington 4x. Just because OSU played those teams 19 times DOESN'T mean those teams were good 19 times!! Also, we are talking about a 34 years span!

REALITY
First: P5 vs G5 vs FCS
Since 1990, OSU has played 50 OOC games vs P5 opponents, 63 OOC games vs G5, and 3 OOC games vs FCS (total 116)

Second: ranked vs top 10
In the 116 OOC games only 19 games were against teams that were ranked in the top 25 (17 P5 and 2 G5). In the 50 games against P5 teams OSU has played 23 different teams in OOC games but 14 of those were NEVER ranked (30 games out of 50).
Arizona played 3 x -Never ranked
Boston college played 2 x -Never ranked
Cal played 2 x -Never ranked
Colorado played 1 x -Never ranked
Louisville played 2 x -Never ranked
NC State played 2 x -Never ranked
Oregon State played 1 x -Never ranked
Pitt played 4 x -Never ranked
TCU played 1 x -Never ranked
Texas Tech played 2 x -Never ranked
UCLA played 2 x -Never ranked
Virginia Tech played 2 x -Never ranked
Washington played 4 x -Never ranked
West Virginia played 1 x -Never ranked

That leaves 9 P5 opponents and 20 games to account for.
Miami played 3 x - ranked 1 x at #15
Missouri played 2 x - ranked 2 x at #21 & #23
Notre Dame played 4 x - ranked 4 x at #11, # 14, #18 & #19.
Oklahoma played 2 x - ranked 2 x at #3 & #5 (yeah 2 T10 teams)
Oregon played 1 x - ranked 1 x at #23
USC played 3 x - ranked 3 x at #3, #20, & #22 (yeah a T10 team)
Syracuse played 1 x - ranked 1 x at # 6 (yeah a top 10 team)
Texas played 2 x - ranked 2 x at #1 & #13 (yeah a T10 team)
Washington State played 2 x - ranked 1 x at #10 (yeah a T10 team)
Total 20 games with 17 ranked and with 6 in T10.

In the 63 games vs G5 team only 2 were ranked
Lots played 52 x - never ranked
Bowling Green played 5 x - ranked 1 x at #23
Cincinnati played 6 x - ranked 1 x at #21.
Total 63 games with 2 ranked and with zero in T10.

In the 3 games vs FCS None were ranked.

I only read the first part as it's funny you make that comment when I keep having to point out to you OSU schedules many of these teams when they are among the top teams.....they cannot help it if the team falls off the map 8-10 years later when the game is played.

I would think you'd understand what falling off the map would be.

Partially right. I did screw-up I omitted Washington from the original list (post # 154) above but does include Arizona and UCLA.

My second and more detailed list (post #188 also above) DID include them before your post #190 above.

Have ya noticed you have not taken me up yet on naming all the teams you think schedule tougher than OSU over the last 25-30 seasons? After that last fiasco by you I can see why, I guess.
So I listed ALL of the teams that schedule BETTER than OSU (post # 180) which you conveniently blew-off with your usual ignorance and started to "lie, dance, deflect, and distort" . You show ME an actual list of top-10 teams that OSU played OOC between 1990 and 2023 that has MORE than 6 teams on it. Name the teams with rankings! Come on big mouth.

I listed ALL of the teams that played MORE top 25 teams than OSU in both OOC and total regular season.
I listed ALL of the teams that played MORE top 10 teams than OSU in both OOC and total regular season.
I even listed ALL of the teams that played MORE top 5 teams than OSU total the regular season.

If you want I can provide a list of ALL of the teams that played MORE top 5 teams than OSU in OOC games ( but would be piling-on too much).

I blew it off because you ignore when teams SCHEDULE teams and they are really good it's hard to be critical when that team falls off the map by the time they play.

Would think as a UF fan you'd understand.

Ripping a school who schedules often perennial powers like TX, ND, Miami, Washington, Oklahoma, Oregon as well as some teams who were good when scheduled but regressed like TCU, Va Tech, etc. and of course upcoming games with Texas, UGA and Bama is more of a you problem.

But you do you.....enjoy the season. Well, the schedules, not the games.

You are NOT seeing the big picture.
"Ripping a school who schedules often perennial powers like TX, ND, Miami, Washington, Oklahoma, Oregon".

1st: OSU doesn't regularly schedule teams like these. In 34 years OSU has played them only 17 times (as in only 1/2 of the time) and OSU was remarkably LUCKY to have them ranked as often as they did 14 out of 17 times! That is amazing!

2nd: Just because you schedule a big-named school doesn't mean they will be ranked when you play them. Consider this: Oklahoma has only been ranked in 24/34 seasons. Texas 22/34 seasons ranked. Notre Dame 21/34 seasons ranked. Miami 19/34 seasons ranked. Oregon 19/34 seasons ranked. You left out USC, 18/34 seasons ranked.

The odds of OSU scheduling one of these teams twice and having them ranked BOTH times is greatest for OU: 24/34 x 24/34 = 49.8%. The others would be even less likely.

OSU played Oklahoma 2 x and OU was ranked 2 x
OSU played ND 4 x and ND was ranked 4 x
OSU played Oregon 1 x and Oregon was ranked 1 x
OSU played Oklahoma 2 x and OU was ranked 2 x
OSU played Syracude 1 x and Syracuse was ranked 1 x
OSU played Texas 2 x and Texas was ranked 2 x
OSU played Missouri 2 x and Missouri was ranked 2 x
Total OSU played 14 games and opponents was ranked 14 times. Amazing lucky!!!

Look scheduling TCU or VT as a top5 team is ridiculous. They are not and haven't been a perennial good teams.

You are NOT seeing the big picture.
"Ripping a school who schedules often perennial powers like TX, ND, Miami, Washington, Oklahoma, Oregon".

1st: OSU doesn't regularly schedule teams like these. In 34 years OSU has played them only 17 times (as in only 1/2 of the time) and OSU was remarkably LUCKY to have them ranked as often as they did 14 out of 17 times! That is amazing!

2nd: Just because you schedule a big-named school doesn't mean they will be ranked when you play them. Consider this: Oklahoma has only been ranked in 24/34 seasons. Texas 22/34 seasons ranked. Notre Dame 21/34 seasons ranked. Miami 19/34 seasons ranked. Oregon 19/34 seasons ranked. You left out USC, 18/34 seasons ranked.

The odds of OSU scheduling one of these teams twice and having them ranked BOTH times is greatest for OU: 24/34 x 24/34 = 49.8%. The others would be even less likely.

OSU played Oklahoma 2 x and OU was ranked 2 x
OSU played ND 4 x and ND was ranked 4 x
OSU played Oregon 1 x and Oregon was ranked 1 x
OSU played Oklahoma 2 x and OU was ranked 2 x
OSU played Syracude 1 x and Syracuse was ranked 1 x
OSU played Texas 2 x and Texas was ranked 2 x
OSU played Missouri 2 x and Missouri was ranked 2 x
Total OSU played 14 games and opponents was ranked 14 times. Amazing lucky!!!

Not reading again since as usual you are not getting this "at time they scheduled" notion. When you get it let me know.

Nice deflection - now give me a list of teams that were ranked when OSU scheduled them and then "fell" out of the polls!

sure....don't care enough to check but I'm certain Va Tech and TCU qualify. Maybe Cal, as well (pretty sure scheduled when Rodgers was there).

Keep on crying Schedule Boy.

Here's OSU's big OOC opponents going back through the years:

2023: ND - finished ranked
2022: ND - finished ranked
2021: Oregon - finished ranked
2020: Oregon(never played)
2019: Cincinnati - Scheduled in January of 2012, coming off a top 25 season in 2011, and having finished ranked 4 of the previous 5 years.
2018: TCU - was scheduled originally as a home and home in 2012(Modified to a one-off in 2017). TCU was coming off a top 15 season in 2011, and having finished ranked 4 of the previous 5 years.
2017: Oklahoma - finished ranked
2016: Oklahoma - finished ranked
2015: Virginia Tech - I can't find the exact date, but they agreed to switch the return game of the home and home to Labor Day night in October of 2013. If I had to guess it was probably agreed to in 2012, at the absolute latest, or prior based on how these things work. Va Tech finished ranked every season between 2004 and 2011.
2014: Virginia Tech
2013: California - was scheduled in 2007. Cal was coming off 3 straight seasons of being ranked between 2004-2006
2012: Cal
2011: Miami
2010: Miami
2009: USC - finished ranked
2008: USC - finished ranked
2007: Washington
2006: Texas - finished ranked
2005: Texas - finished ranked
2004: NC State
2003: Washington, NC State & Bowling Green - finished ranked
2002: Texas Tech & Washington State (finished top 10 that season)
2001: UCLA

Anything prior to the Cal games I can't find official documentation. So to answer your question, that would be Cincinnati, TCU, Va Tech, and Cal. And Miami finished ranked every season between 1998-2005. So based on how these things are scheduled if that was scheduled 4 years in advance(which I'd peg at about 99%) you can add them to the list. If you're going to take issue with one of their home and homes, I guess it would be NC State as they don't really have a history of anything. Outside of that, you're pretty much wrong in your assessment.
