As an Ohio State fan, I am thoroughly embarrassed by the schedule that Tressel and his staff devised this year. If they want to get better, they need to schedule tougher opponents to compete with the PAC-10 and SEC conferences.
I hope you are aware that the schedule is completed 3 to 4 years ahead of time. Also in the next 4 years the Bucks have a home and home series with USC and Miami(FL)and I am not sure if it was inked yet but a home and home with VA Tech was in the works as well. This after just having a series with Texas. OSU wil always play MAC schools becuase the Big Ten has a contract with the MAC. True they don't need to play 2 in the same year but I think OSU is doing a fine job in scheduling tough non- conference opponents. This year is not as great as years to come but it wil lbe exciting next year I promise.
I give the Bucks props for playing USC, of course. But, most teams are playing tougher non-conf. schedules these days--even the poor ole' Texas Aggies are visiting Miami this yr, and they hardly EVER leave the state.
This week's list of non-conf games is INSANE:
*South Florida @ Auburn - Herbstreit has the Tigers on upset-alert.
*Boise St @ Washington - Huskies looked good in the Carrier Dome last week. I don't know who to take.
*Notre Dame @ Penn State - Freshman PHENOM (
) Rick Clausen, gets his first start and a chance to save Jesus.
*V.Tech @ L.S.U - Bengals win close.
*T.C.U @ Texas - Someone's feeling a LITTLE apprehensive bout this one.. 
*Miami @ Oklahoma - You should NEVER invite the Canes into your house.
*Oregon @ Michigan - A LOT on the line. You DON'T want to visit Ann Arbor against an 0-1 Michigan squad.
*Nebraska @ Wake Forest - Huskers, baby.
*California @ Colorado State - You DON'T walk into Fort Collins and send the Rams to 0-2.
*South Mississippi @ Tennessee - Vols are on SERIOUS upset-alert.
*Fresno State @ Texas A&M - Go Dawgs!!!
