Is it me, or is Ohio State overrated again?
I'll be honest -- I've never really cared for the Big Ten. But as a Husker fan living in Northeast Nebraska and commuting to Iowa frequently, I hear a ton of talk year in and year out about "how great the Big Ten is."
I've made a concentrated effort this year, however, to watch Big Ten football and see for myself whether or not the conference -- and Ohio State -- is overrated.
I honestly believe that, if this same group of kids and coaches had the name "Kansas" instead of "Ohio State," I guarantee you they wouldn't be in the top five.
The Buckeyes have yet to beat anyone ranked higher than No. 25. This year's nonconference schedule was soft (see: Akron and Youngstown State).
Although my money's on Michigan winning the "Weak Ten Conference" -- as some people have dubbed it here in Nebraska -- I could see the Buckeyes pulling through.
But let's be serious: The Buckeyes are where they are because they're the only undefeated team with name recognition and recent success.
This one here goes to all unbeatens in the Football Bowl Subdivision: they played a weak non-conference schedule. Maybe it wasn't meant to be that way. The OSU-Washington game, in a year or two, could be a very interesting matchup.
I have to admit: I'm praying Wisconsin beats Ohio State, just to show everyone how overrated the Columbus crew is.
And if you think Ohio State isn't overrated, riddle me this:
Of the teams in the Bleacher Report Top 10, who would the Buckeyes beat?
I'd put OSU just outside the top five right now—at best. I think LSU, Oregon, ASU, and Oklahoma would all beat Jim Tressel's team...by at least a touchdown.
If the Buckeyes win out, I believe their opponent will be the new national champion.
Okay, so I may be a complete outsider to Ohio State and the Big Ten, but that's just the way I see it.

Your argument is that Ohio State hasn't played anyone. How, then, can you know that they are no better than #7? I'm an Ohio State fan, and I honestly don't know how good this team is. No one does. With what we know, all I can do is rank them #1 because they haven't been exposed, and it's very possible that they won't be.
This team is different than last years'. What weakness have you seen in this team itself that drops them that far in your mind? Team speed may be a legitimate argument that you brushed in passing, but you can't just argue they're bad because they've played a weak schedule. I tend to disagree with you, but time will tell how good the Buckeyes are.

I think Ohio State is soo great they shouldn't even have to play another game. No team in any conferance could even come close to them. Whimmpy Trojans. Drowning Ducks. Sun burned Devils. Hah. O State will kick ass on any of them. And when they play Boston College (pussies in their own right) they will destroy them.
P.S. Every player on theri team will go pro and be pro bowlers. No doubt.

So Virginia Tech is better than Penn St? And what makes you say that? Va Tech has beaten NOBODY, and lost by 1000 points to LSU. At best, Penn St and Va Tech are equal. Ohio St totally dominated and demoralized Penn St in Happy Valley (where they had won 19 of 20 and KILLED Wisconsin 2 weeks earlier)... and BC went 56 minutes without a point before luckily squeaking by Va Tech.
Nice weak ridiculous unfounded argument. Get over the Florida game already.

"Until" Ohio State starts scheduling strong out-of-conference opponents? Until???
Your knowledge of Ohio State's non-conference scheduling is at the level of a 13-month old Polish child with down syndrome. You go find me an elite BCS-conference program that plays home-and-homes with the likes of Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, California, and Miami all in a row...if you can do that, then I'll suck your balls, because no one else does it.

The IRISH have this schedule every year big guy. Not just once in awhile. Starting in 09 we play Oklahoma as well. Big Ten is a joke besides the teams that ND plays from there, and I know the Irish are like the worst football team in America right now but just stating the point that their schedule year in and year out is the toughest.

The problem this year is that this is the ONLY year OSU doesn't have a Top 10 historic program on its non-conference schedule. So they get one freebie year. Who cares? Its not like they are scheduling Division I-AA teams every year like some schools. And finally. When you win 27 of 28 games, how can you say someone is over rated. That is like a .97 win percentage. I don't think there is another program in the country that even has a 0.90 win percentage over the past two years. This article is clearly biased and uninformed.

Yeah, the Buckeyes can't help that Washington turned into a bag of horsedroppings.. that game was scheduled 5+ years ago. This isn't college basketball. Look at BC's non-conf schedule, ain't no better. Look at Oklahoma's. They had Miami(FL) who is GARBAGE now.. but they scheduled it a long time ago.
If you watch Ohio State play, actually WATCH them, you will notice that they completely dominate every aspect of the game.. and start only THREE seniors. Some of the teams they have whooped (Purdue, Mich St, Penn St) don't seem to have a problem lighting up and/or shutting down all the other teams they have played. Then they show up against OSU and put up 7 pts, 3 pts, and 10 pts respectively against the Buckeye defense (2 of those games were night games at Pur and Penn St... oh and by the way, Purdue scored their TD on the last play of the game against the 7th string D, and came into the game averaging 45 ppg).
Quit chastizing the Buckeyes for the other teams not being able to put up a fight.
And quit writing articles without doing research or actually watching teams play.
And sorry USC is back-page.. yesterday's news. OSU is THE program now. Deal with it. It ain't gonna change.

With your logic Mississippi State and Vanderbilt should be ranked higher than Ohio State too.
The funny part about your article is that it is so full of unoriginal thoughts that it is hard to even take you seriously. Should LSU be ranked higher? Their defense has looked great lately giving up 91 points in three games.

How the pollsters voted OSU #1 is beyond you, eh? Well, that doesn't surprise me. The way you think and write, I can't think of many things that AREN'T beyond you. Here's how the human polls work, Corky:
1. Humans rank teams.
2. Teams remain in order until teams begin to lose.
3. As teams lose, the move down, and teams that don't lose move up.
This process goes on and on for 12-13 weeks. Did you not know this? It might be a retarded system, but that's the way it's always been. So how something this simple to understand is beyond you is...well, beyond me. And I'm a lot smarter than you.
Maybe OSU had better start scheduling better opponents than Youngstown State and Akron...that way, NICK BENES might "tout" them as BCS bowl contenders. That's what everyone is aiming for each season - for Andy & Alan's retarded love-child to "tout" them.
Wow, a night win at Lane Stadium. When was the last time Virginia Tech DIDN'T finish the season rated worse than they started? God, people are so obsessed with "Beamer ball" and his special teams "prowess" that they never notice that his teams suck balls and can't score an offensive point..ever. Oh, but they can block 5 punts a year - put 'em in the top 10.
The 2007 offense doesn't have the speed of last year's unit? SO WHAT. I'll tell you what it does have - equally good receivers, the same genius coach on the sideline, and the biggest, baddest running back to enter college football in your lifetime.

That's not exactly how it works. Look at Hawaii - undefeated and still in the middle of the top 25 pack. Kansas was discounted for their schedule - undefeated until week 13 and never ranked #1. The difficulty of the schedule is definitely taken into account.
Ohio State benefited a lot from playing and beating Texas last year. There's no way a team like Ohio State should be playing Akron or Youngstown State. If they're looking for a close-by game up the road, they should play a non-conference game against West Virginia. It would be a good match-up for both teams.

Well, aren't we a bit feisty today. I guess Nebraska isn't workin' out very well for ya', huh?
You wonder why you only have one comment thus far -- dude, nobody cares and they've read the same article probably 10 times over.
First off, it's pretty obvious that you don't watch or know a lot about the Buckeye's program. Do you watch every Buckeye game down there in Nebraska? Because I'll hardly ever watch a Husker's game, and I sure as hell couldn't write an article on why they suck so bad this year without doing so. You know why I THINK they suck though? Because they're 4-5 -- I don't KNOW that they suck.
"In fact, my money's on Michigan to beat Ohio State and represent the Weak Ten Conference in the Rose Bowl..."
Oh, really? You got a Paypal account? And secondly, tell me just ONE reasonable fact that the Big 10 is weak. I mean just show me a reason for me to even half-way think you know what you're talking about. I bet you can't. Perhaps you want to go back to how the B10 did in last year's bowl games?
"Boston College, Arizona State, Kansas, and Hawai'i. OSU, Kansas, and Hawai'i have played virtually nobody..."
And who the hell has ASU played? Did you mean Colorado -- who LOST to freikin FSU? Maybe you meant San Jose St, San diego st? Stanford? Washington St? Washington? or was it that marquee victory over a spiraling Cal team whose lost 3 straight now?
Maybe you were talking more about BC, yea, that's it... You meant their quality opponents in the likes of W. Forest or NC State? Army? Umass? BGU? Notre "just kill us already" Dame? Wait, they still got that barn-burner this week against Florida "wish it were the 90's" State!
"The Sun Devils will prove their worth Saturday at Oregon. BC, meanwhile, beat Virginia Tech in Lane Stadium last Thursday night..."
First off, ASU will lose. And second -- are you kidding me? Are you saying BC going to VaTech and and getting a LUCKY win by 4 is a more quality win than the Buckeyes going into Penn State and completely dominating them on both sides of the ball. Did you watch the Penn State game, of course not.
You want to talk about over-rated? Look no further than the at the "#8" HOKIES.
E Carolina W 17-7
#2 LSU L 48-7
Ohio W 28-7
W & Mary W 44-3
UNC W 17-10
#22 Clemson W 41-23
Duke W 43-14
#2 BC L 14-10
E Car. by 10? Ohio? W&Mary? UNC by 7? Duke? I don't know how the hell they beat Clemson like that, I guess that's a credit to them. BUT the only actual legitimate NC contender they've face they get smoked by 41. And BC is down and only beats Vatech on a miracle onside kick.
--- And that's what you call a better quality win than Penn State? Oh, I get it now - it was joke, right? Okay, you got me.
"Face it: The 2007 Buckeye offense doesn't have the speed of last year's unit..."
Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about AND this just further proves my point that you can't make a legitimate argument without KNOWING or WATCHING Buckeye football. Exactly What speed are you talking about?
Ginn and Gonzalez, each of which have very comparable and most of all capable replacements in Small, Robiskie, and Hartline. If anything there's more depth than last year AND comparable speed at that position.
Pittman -- Trust me, Beanie's got it covered.
Troy Smith -- Not really a factor in speed because if you actually watch the Buckeyes last year, you'd know he hardly ran. So this comes down to fundamental quarterback play -- where actually dare I say Boeckman has a slight advantage on Smith.
The O-line -- Better than last year, and trust me the speed and athleticism is more prevalant than ever in practically the best tackle tandem in college football - Boone and Barton.
So what's left? The Tight Ends.. is that what you mean? Because I never knew out of this world speed was a touted attribute in a tight end.
"And Florida ran circles around them in the BCS National Championship game..."
Oh god, is there an echo in here. Polly want a cracker?
------
I understand man. Really if I wasn't from Ohio, I would hate the Buckeyes too. Everyone hates a team that consistently performs year in and year out. I know you feel sorry for your less than stellar Nebraska team.. seriously, I would too if the Buckeyes played like that.
Luckily, they don't, and until they do I'll thoroughly enjoy your misery, your whining (aka this article), etc.. etc..
The bottom line is, like Micheal above, I don't know how good the Buckeyes actually are. But we've gone into a pretty hostile and regardless of what you might think, GOOD Penn State team and completely dominated them as well as most of our opponents.
So again humor me.. How is it again that you know how good the Buckeyes are? I know more about OSU football than you'll ever know and I don't even know how good they are.

This article is just another example of someone hating the #1 team and joining other stupid ass dumb ass media retards who love to focus on schedule strength and past results instead of actually watching the Buckeyes - because if you did watch, NICK BENES, you would see the BEST defense in the nation (mm hmm, better than LSU's) and yes, the best defense this century.
Yep. Best player - Laurinaitis [best LB in school history, yes I said that]. Best secondary in the nation. And a nasty D-line and other LBs who do NOT let anyone run the ball.
Add up all the points the first team defense has given up this entire season, and you're looking at an average of FOUR POINTS PER GAME ALLOWED. 4. FOUR. Fuck who they've played. Other teams have played weak ass schedules too, and are any of them giving up FOUR points per game?
Nope.. so enjoy a nice wet chili dog on your face from Bill Callahan after he gets fired next week.

Nick, senior year is it? Guess that s the year that you only get wasted the nights and write papers every Saturday. It s to bad, cause there have been some great games happening on Saturday, yet you want to focus on Thursday night match-ups. The reason these games are played on Thursday is because nobody would waste the time to watch them on Saturday while you re writing your papers or otherwise not watching football. I can truly say that the Buckeyes are somewhat untested, but to say that BC is anymore deserving of an obvious top pick than the Buckeyes is absurd. The Buckeyes may not have played powerhouses .with the strength of schedule of BC (whatever?) , but they haven t been anywhere near banking on a 2 touchdown in 2 minute win over a dumb prevent defense and an ex-hands team player. I think I m going to have to go with the pollsters and/or the qualified and distinguished professionals over a senior trying to write something that will get him noticed by one of the tabloids that might offer him money for writing columns with such a misrepresentation of reality.

I don't know why so many people complain about Ohio State being overrated. I'm a die-hard Buckeye fan and it's really not Ohio State's fault they're number one. All they're doing is winning and people are ranking them at #1. NOT OHIO STATE'S FAULT!
And like Michael said up there, how can we know they're overrated? Just because they haven't played anyone? Well they've blown out everyone they've played (even the ranked teams they've played). How do you know they won't beat a good team like LSU or something?
In my opinion, and please back me up people out there, a team can't be considered overrated unless they play a good team, lose BAD, and are still ranked high. That's where I think Virginia Tech is overrated. They lost to LSU 48-7 yet were still ranked #8 going into their matchup against BC. That's being overrated. After a loss like that to a team that's ranked #3 now, a team shouldn't be ranked any higher than #15. Of course this is just my opinion and others may have different definitions of overrated, but I hope people understand what I'm trying to say without trying to fight me.
Articles like this are written just for attention. Ohio State is #1, DEAL WITH IT! And if Ohio State and Boston College win out, then do you really think Boston College will be able to beat Ohio State? I would rather see LSU in the championship game with Ohio State. That's the only way it would be a good game. Boston College beat Virginia Tech by only 4 points. Virginia Tech lost to LSU by 41 points!!! I know that only mathematically you can do make this conclusion and not logistically. But stats show that LSU is clearly the best out of BC, VT, and LSU.
LSU in the championship game against Ohio State would make a real game. I don't care if people disagree with me, this is a comment about my opinion.
GO BUCKEYES!

I agree in that OSU has some very nice stats. However, statistics do not tell the whole story of a team's performance. The way they've looked (with exception of the Penn State game) I have not been impressed with them. I just don't think that OSU would win if you put the Buckeyes against the likes of LSU or Oklahoma (who, I will admit, I've had a chance to watch a couple more of their games this year). I would love to see a LSU-OSU title game.
9 months ago
And to continue on my above comment, I agree with a few people up there. I don't know how good Ohio State really is this year. All I know is that stats have Todd Boeckman as the 3rd most efficient passer in the nation this year and Ohio State's defense is #1 in scoring and overall defense. Malcolm Jenkins is the #1 cornerback and James Laurinaitis is the #3 linebacker, according to Rivals.com Power Rankings. Obviously you can argue that the defense hasn't been matched up against a worthy offense yet but Michigan State and Purdue were pretty close to good offenses. They, at the time Ohio State played them, were ranked among the best offenses in the Big Ten (Javon Ringer as MSU's threat and Curtis Painter as Purdue's threat). Yet, Ohio State's defense kept both those threats in check.
So people who say Ohio State is overrated have no stats to back them up. All they can do is give their opinion, which just so happens to be hated by everyone else here.
I'll admit that when Ohio State was ranked #3, I, being a Ohio State fan myself, wasn't sure whether Ohio State deserved that ranking. But then again, it's not Ohio State's fault that the teams ranked higher than them lost and they became #1. It's part of college football. The rankings are never perfect, but it's what happens.

You're a loser and an idiot. You don't know how well the team will be doing five years later when you schedule them. Washington, for example had an 11-2 year I believe when the Bucks scheduled them. It's not OSU's fault they can sustain success.

Let's compare OSU's non-conference schedule to that of Florida, since the beat OSU last year.
First game of season: Florida played Western Kentecky, who has lost to Ball State and Bowling Green in the MAC and lost 19-2 to Youngstown State at the end of last year. Ohio State played Youngstown State.
Ohio State played the more difficult team.
Second game of season. Florida played Troy State of Alabama. A MAC type team. OSU played a MAC team Akron.
Similar teams from similar conferences, so is a wash in terms of outside play.
Third game. Florida will play Florida Atlantic, a MAC caliber team. OSU played Washington.
Ohio State played the more difficult team.
Fourth game. Florida will play Florida State. OSU played Kent State. In most years, FSU is much more competitive.
Florida has the more competitive outside opponent.
OSU has the stronger nonconference schedule. Not by much, but it is stonger.
All the blather about OSU's weak nonconference schedule, is just that. Uneducated blather. If you're going to write a column, put some substance in it. Don't just parrot the talking heads on TV.
from 9 months ago
I'm an Ohio State fan and I disagree with your statement that we played a harder OOC schedule. Troy is arguably one of best mid-major teams in the country (along with hawaii, boise, and byu). I'm guessing you didn't look up how they're doing this year. Florida State is a solid football team. Florida doesn't have a great out of conference schedule, but they play two decent/good opponents.
Basically every team on our OOC schedule this year has been shit because we kind of thought this was supposed to be a "rebuilding" year anyways so we brought out the cupcakes. Youngstown State is I-AA and we should never be playing them. Akron is garbage. Kent State is garbage. Washington is one of the worst teams in the Pac-10 (they only have two wins). I know you might be a little biased here (as most fans generally are about their own team) but OSU's out of conference schedule is one of the easiest in the country.
I disagree with Nick Benes saying we're overrated. But I definitely don't think we've played a top 20 caliber team yet. No one will really know how good this team is until it plays a healthy, rejuvenated Michigan team

Dude, being a Nebraske fan, I suggest burying your head in the sand somewhere. You guys SUCK and you're all bitter about it. OSU had a letdown, which is common in sports, especially in college football, after beating Michigan last year in the "GAME OF THE CENTURY". Tell me, when was the last time a big 12 team played on that grand of a stage? So, after all the buffet dinners and celebrations, yeah, Florida wanted it more, I'll tip my hat. That doesn't mean that the Big Ten is a weak conference. Tell me, which team in any other conference has a 2 time Heisman Trophy winner, let alone the numerous NCAA Titles? The tradition of Ohio State is unmatched in the rest of the NCAA, as evident by the Best Damn Band In The Land!! Now, you put a blue chip coach like Jim Tressell in a situation like he experienced last January and this is the result. A winner like Tressell knows that the only way to correct what happened last year against Florida is to go out and win it all. So, after losing the Heisman Trophy winner, and countless other studs to the NFL, (which is flooded with Buckeyes by the way if you haven't noticed) the Buckeyes are well on their way to thier 3rd trip to the title game in 5 years. Now, go back to the drawing board and come up with something better than your whiny psycho babble about the Big Ten being so weak. O!!! H!!! I!!! O!!!

Their fans are so blinded with greed! They have no appreciation for any other football program in the country. And to all you Buckeye's get a schedule and stop talking about the one's you had in the past and in the future. Last time I checked we live in the present in which your schedule contains the following:
1. Youngstown State University (former sweater vest team) MAC OHIO
2. Akron ZIPS (MAC OHIO) Do you even leave your state to play anyone?
3. Washington Huskies (2-6 0-5 in Pac-10)
4. Kent Sate (MAC OHIO) Do you have 2 conference affiliations? Did you also join the MAC?
We could talk about this great ooc schedule but you (buckeye homer fan) will probably want to mention how you played Texas the last 2 years or maybe you go as far to tell me that you have USC scheduled next year. Buckeye fan your team is a ticking time bomb and I can't wait til they explode in your face.

Yes I know when your dumb article was written, NICK BENES... your dumb article said the Buckeyes were overrated, and then they went out and proved you wrong.. so I was simply displaying for the record that the Buckeyes have pounded everyone they have played.. regardless of whether the teams they have played have been "rated" in the Top 10 or 15 or 20.. or whatever. The fact is, conference games are all tough. Teams and coaches are familiar with one another.. and usually a team will at least have a close game to deal with... or even lose (Oklahoma, LSU, Oregon, USC)...
Not the Buckeyes. They have handily answered every punch every team has thrown with constant haymakers.
You wrote your article after the Buckeyes went on the road at night against a team who had won 19 or 20 at home, and the game wasn't even close.
