1. Penn State (#7) - Who do you play? What you got is a half *** Michigan and an Ohio State. Who couldn't get to a solid bowl game with that schedule?

2. Boise State (#12) - Just becuz you can beat oregon doesn't mean you should reach a top bowl game every year. I would encourage you to schedule a match with either/both USC or California.

3. Utah (#21) - Wow you play Oregon. All I gotta say is grow some balls little boy.

4. TIE USC and Ohio State (#4 and #5) - You at least made some effort to start by playing each other but compared to an SEC or ACC schedule your lacking at least a game or two. Instead of saying none we will just say you have some but that doesn't mean you have a lot.

5. Michigan State (#20) - You pretty much have 8 wins handed to you and when you can go to the Capital One Bowl with your weak 8 wins you need to step your game up. Outta be playing Ohio State not Michigan. I know you play Notre Dame that is ranked $24 but nobody thinks they deserve that spot so that don't count as a good legit team.

6. Iowa (#23) - If Michigan State had a clone you would be it. 8 wins easily handed to you but that doesn't mean you deserve to go to the Outback bowl. Even though you beat South Carolina last year in the Outback Bowl...its just too easy to build a big program with 8 easy win games a year and then you land a top bowl game when your facing a team that barely goes above 6-6 but plays so many more tougher teams.

I have chosen the teams that I wanted to call out the most becuz as you can see they are all ranked teams and its just not right for some of these teams with much weaker schedules to continue to get top notch bowl games when they don't play anybody half the time in the reg season. I won't call out USC and Ohio State too bad becuz they have at least added each other but they need to add another tough team or 2. As for the other teams quit trying to scam other teams out of the ranking and bowl game system when you don't play anybody.

I think some teams should play more good teams but there outta be a playoff system with the best 16 teams like the NFL. As for teams that are scamming the bowl system there should be some type of penalty put on them so they don't go to as good of a bowl game. Luckily there is not too many teams out there to diss seeing as most teams have decent schedules based on what I've seen.

Oh by the way RIP Charlie Weis and nice shot Blount.

Feel free to agree, disagree or add any teams that you think don't have any.

Oregon- Score 8 points against a below average BSU defense, and get run out of their stadium after talking **** about how you would beat their ass for last year. And then the guy talking the **** has to sneak a guy and then tries to charge the stands. Anything less than a season suspension would be a joke by the NCAA. And oh boy, I can't wait for UGA to visit and hostyou in afew years. Your Pac-1 (btw, way to seriously embaress your conference) refs aren't going to bail you out of a beating, and Blount... you're lucky you were in Boise. If this was in Athens, and you even lay hands on the Hedges, then you leave the stadium decorated in shotgun shells.

any highly ranked team that schedules Div-1AA opponents. I'm not going to name any conferences but I'm sure you're smart enough to figure that one out ;)

Yeah thats true. USC is probably the team that least needs to be on there becuz they always play good in their bowl game but its always a home game too. They still win and usually by a lot. Although I definitely think they need to beef up their schedule but I will give them the benefit of the doubt they have stated before that THEY WILL PLAY ANY ONE ANY WHERE AT ANY TIME. I just have not seen enough of that yet but OSU is a good start.

You don't **** with a duck baby!!!!!!

USC plays Ohio State, Notre Dame, and their Pac-10 schedule which they have no control over...they only have one other game on their schedule. I don't see how you even considered them to be on your list.

Those teams you call out all play in pansy conferences, the difference are the WAC and Mountain West teams can only do so much about their schedules. None of the big boys want to play them and there's no reason for them to do so. That's the benefit of the BCS, you can keep your lofty ranking and schedule maybe one tough game at the most. I remember when Hawaii was a one-season powerhouse that schools like Michigan paid $200,000 to cancel their game with them.

I hope we continue to see more BCS crashers. I love seeing top tier teams get embarrassed.

If Boise St. played USC or Florida and won out the rest of their season then I would say they probably earned the right to play for a national title, but I just can't give too much praise to a team that is in a weak conference like the WAC. Oh, and when player lays his hands on an opponent after a game don't be surprised if that opponent gets pissed and tries to get you back.

Ohio State? Navy and USC as the first two teams is about a decent start any team in the country could ask for? They've scheduled Texas in the past, and will have teams like Oklahoma, Miami (FL), and Tenn (SEC) in the future. Weak OOC schedules? Lets take a look at the SEC.

Florida? Charleston Southern, FIU...bleh...

LSU? Washington, Tulane?

Alabama? North Texas, FIU?

Auburn has too many garbage games to care about.

The only SEC team I see that plays a real hard OOC schedule is Georgia, props to them.

The ACC is a joke too outside Virginia Tech and Florida State's OOC schedule. Both are very good

Don't get me wrong, the SEC is the best league in collage right now, and the ACC is balanced, but when you talk about balls, this list needs reshuffled a little.

The problem is that teams like Boise St. and (especially) Utah have beaten upper echelon teams and aren't getting National Title consideration. As far as I'm concerned, Utah was last year's National Champ.

There's no way Blount's sucker punch can possibly be condoned. If he had shoved the BSU player away, fine (Blount talked a lot of **** before the game). But he connected with a perfect shot to the jaw. And then charged the stands and had to be restrained by cops all the way to the locker room. The punch is only worth a suspension of about 2 or 3 games imo, but going after the fans? Season over, bud. I don't see how Oregon can give a guy that's supposed to be representing their school anything less than a heavy punishment after trying to attack fans. And Innovazero.. be fair. OSU isn't the only team in the Big Ten. Let's see the schedules of Penn State, Michigan, and the rest of those teams before singling out the SEC over ooc schedules.

I only brought in the SEC and ACC because he specifically mentioned those conferences under OSU on his list, and I compared the two. I'm not disputing a lot of the big ten either, i was specfically talking in relation to OSU's schedule.

The SEC is first and fore most the strongest conference hands down. There isn't a single team in the SEC that has a weak schedule.

The second best conference is probably the big 12 seeing as they have been playing well as whole lately. The ACC is a close second but could surpass the big 12.

As for the pac 10 and big ten they are alot weaker compared to the other conferences. So therefore top teams in these conferences should take it upon themselves to schedule more big games against non conference teams.

Based on what I've seen a lot of these big 10 and pac 10 teams don't even have a schedule that is as strong as say BYU. Their schedules probably are about even with a TCU schedule which is a MWC schedule with no strong outside conference competition.

Now your telling me a team like BYU can schedule two top teir out of conference teams Oklahoma and Florida State but a team like Ohio State/USC can only schedule one and as for Penn State they don't even have the balls to schedule one.

Now I know USC plays Notre Dame every years usually thats a pretty decent out of conference match but here lately USC should take it upon themselves to schedule another tough team besides Ohio State they ought to be playing Boise State.

Oh and keep in mind that BYU has a much tougher schedule seeing as they are ranked around 30 so when they play a team that is ranked say 37 then its like USC playing a team ranked 7 or 8.

Ohio States schedule is USC and Penn State. They have never had the balls to play notre dame like their counter part Michigan. As for Navy being a solid game well OSU is ranked #5 and Navy is ranked #63 there is over 50 teams better than Navy. Its just plain weak...you talk a big game but you sure as hell don't play it when it comes to your schedule. Any SEC, Big 12, or ACC has a better schedule than OSU.

Playing in the ACC alone makes your schedule easier, although they are a better conference this year. Ohio State has scheduled a relatively hard schedule with USC the past two years, Washington St. when they were good and Texas previously. Not many teams play great OOC schedules.

Probably because Ohio State murdered Notre Dame a few years ago anyways. They're not the team to beat. I don't any SEC or ACC teams scheduling a much better OOC schedule.

As demonstrated in this thread, the SEC as a whole is one of the worst offenders at both A) refusing to play road games, and B) padding their schedule by inviting Div 1-AA teams. You'd think that the first and foremost strongest conference hands down would put on a better display of their gonads...

USC has four ranked out of conference opponents on their schedule. They have no business being on your list. Boise State has been trying for years to get into the MWC, which would mean they play routinely ranked TCU, Utah and BYU year-in and year-out. Next year they open on the road against Va Tech. The problem with BSU is that nobody wants to do home-and-home games with them. It's easy to say "schedule USC or Cal every year", but what if those HAVE to be away games every year because big name schools don't want to lose money going to play AT BSU?

Florida schedule is not over whelmingly hard but they play 3 ranked opponents and Tennessee is not too far off from being ranked. Also, Keep in mind that Florida will at least play 4 ranked teams if they plan to go to a good bowl game seeing as they will play in the SEC Title game. So that right there is 3 ranked teams and a team in the SEC that will probably be in the top 10 when they go to the conference game.

Tennesse isn't too far lagging behind....its not like too many teams out there can have losing record one season and not make a bowl game but come preseason next year they are close being ranked.

Given how competitive the SEC is in general even some of the ranked teams on Florida's schedule maybe ranked or close to it by the time Florida plays them.

Nononono, I'm not saying Blount did the right thing. But I'm not surprised he did it when I saw what Bout did. The punch was still beyond stupid.

[QUOTE="CajunCeltic"]Florida has to have one of the easiest schedules, I only see my LSU Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs as their only big challenge. 9/05 Charleston Southern 7:00 PM 9/12 Troy 12:21 PM 9/19 Tennessee 3:30 PM 9/26 @ Kentucky TBA 10/10 @ No. 11 LSU 8:00 PM 10/17 Arkansas TBA 10/24 @ Mississippi State TBA 10/31 vs. No. 13 Georgia 3:30 PM 11/07 Vanderbilt TBA 11/14 @ South Carolina TBA 11/21 Florida International TBA 11/28 No. 18 Florida StateSonwhy

Florida schedule is not over whelmingly hard but they play 3 ranked opponents and Tennessee is not too far off from being ranked. Also, Keep in mind that Florida will at least play 4 ranked teams if they plan to go to a good bowl game seeing as they will play in the SEC Title game. So that right there is 3 ranked teams and a team in the SEC that will probably be in the top 10 when they go to the conference game.

Tennesse isn't too far lagging behind....its not like too many teams out there can have losing record one season and not make a bowl game but come preseason next year they are close being ranked.

Given how competitive the SEC is in general even some of the ranked teams on Florida's schedule maybe ranked or close to it by the time Florida plays them.

Back in the early part of the decade, the big ten was one the tougher conferences in NCAA, specifically 02 when OSU won the NC. Tell me why then, OSU still went out and did marquee OOC matchups despite the big ten begin strong still? I don't care how strong the conference is, most of the SEC's OOC is complete garbage. Although Tenn has a home and home with OSU coming up in a few years. If OSU didn't have balls, they would take that "supposedly" easy schedule, and do nothing but match D2 schools, but they don't. They schedule huge OOC games year in and year out with a decent tuneup, and say what you will about navy, they were a bowl team last year, and the triple option gives 90% of NCAA teams fits, and they beat Wake in the ACC when they were rank 14th last year. They aren't a stud team by any streach of the measure, but a damn good tune up game none the less.

I'm not disputing the SEC's strength, they are deep...and im not disputing OSU has had some troubles recently, before florida they were 4-0 in BCS bowl games, and now who the hell knows. Hoepfully with two straight top 5 recruiting classes, they can start whoopin people. Next year they should make a strong push for a championship. This year, I hope they honestly get no higher then captiol won, they just need to win a decent bowl against a decent team first.

Thats the problem with Ohio State is that your playing such a weak schedule that its very easy for a team like you to get 10 wins. Mainly becuz you don't know whats it like to have tough games in and out all through out the season. Capital One bowl is very good especially when you have to earn it. What I mean by earn is not only did you win games but you beat quite a few good teams. More people are going to start to take notice of the half *** schedules out there and criticize teams like Ohio State for not playing that many good teams. All in all as more time goes on people will lose more respect for your program if you don't up your schedule or your not punished by the NCAA towards the end of the season and forced into weaker bowl games like Boise State for the weak schedule there is place for that.

Take a team like Georgia's schedule

at Oklahoma State

South Carolina

at Arkansas

Arizona State

LSU

at Tennessee

at Vanderbilt

Florida

Tennessee Tech

Auburn

Kentucky

at Georgia Tech

Ohio State doesn't have nearly as tough of a schedule and if a team like Georgia manages to get 10 teams and get back to the Capital One bowl and plays a team like Ohio State with a weak schedule....All I gotta say is get ready to have your *** handed to you. By the way Georgia's schedule last year is quite similar to this years.

Also, get ready to have your *** handed to you on 12/09 when you play USC becuz if Navy can give you a run for your money it aint lookin too good.

lol :lol: OSU is one of the most overrated teams year in-year out. It's hilarious truly. They will get embarassed again vs USC just like they got embarassed last year in their first big game of the season. They got embarassed twice in BCS championships that they had no business being in. They get ranked high based on name, not performance. USC performs, but they have 1-2 tough games a year, and they still choked the last two years vs easy teams and somehow get considered for championship games..:roll:

[QUOTE="GamerForca"]

Oregon- Score 8 points against a below average BSU defense, and get run out of their stadium after talking **** about how you would beat their ass for last year. And then the guy talking the **** has to sneak a guy and then tries to charge the stands. Anything less than a season suspension would be a joke by the NCAA. And oh boy, I can't wait for UGA to visit and hostyou in afew years. Your Pac-1 (btw, way to seriously embaress your conference) refs aren't going to bail you out of a beating, and Blount... you're lucky you were in Boise. If this was in Athens, and you even lay hands on the Hedges, then you leave the stadium decorated in shotgun shells.

GamerForca

Ok, I'm not defending Rout (or w/e) at all, but that dude had it coming. You just beat Oregon in a hard fought game, and you smack the dude on the shoulders pads and talk **** What do you expect? BS coach tried to get in there, but he was too late and started yelling at his player AFTER he was punched. The dude had it coming for that **** . BOTH should be punished.

There's no way Blount's sucker punch can possibly be condoned. If he had shoved the BSU player away, fine (Blount talked a lot of **** before the game). But he connected with a perfect shot to the jaw. And then charged the stands and had to be restrained by cops all the way to the locker room. The punch is only worth a suspension of about 2 or 3 games imo, but going after the fans? Season over, bud. I don't see how Oregon can give a guy that's supposed to be representing their school anything less than a heavy punishment after trying to attack fans. And Innovazero.. be fair. OSU isn't the only team in the Big Ten. Let's see the schedules of Penn State, Michigan, and the rest of those teams before singling out the SEC over ooc schedules.

Plus, the whole reason the BSU guy said something was because Blount had been saying crap the whole offseason! I don't care what he said, you don't punch the guy let alone sucker punch him.

Why are you laughing? Cause it's the cool thing to do these days? Use some common sense, nobody is saying OSU is winning the championship, they aren't lol. 1. Navy is a decent football club thats very disciplined, and it's rare OSU sees or has to practice for the triple option. 2. OSU is very young this year, extremely talented...there is a lot of top end recruits from the last couple of years (top 5 on rivals and scouts in 08 and 09), but very inexperienced. 3. I think they got caught looking a head a little. This year will prob. be our worst year since 2004 when we were roughly as young as we are now. Hell michigan looked good the other day, they might beat us, but if michigan gets good again, alongside Penn st, with decent second tears like michigan st, only good for the B10. next couple of years will be our chance to shine.

If thats the case, then that person needs smacked. I love my buckeyes as much as anyone, but I don't want em in any of the BCS bowls this year, they need to to build this young talent and go after it in the next year or two.

Not every PAC-1o team schedule early creampuffs to play against. Since Tedford took over Cal has always had a very strong non-conference schedule. They will schedule an FCS team here and there but never every year and of late they've played Tennessee (twice), Maryland (twice), Air Force (a good team and always high-scoring). Cal now has an agreement to play a Big-10 team every year and I think they will play Ohio State either next year or 2011 and play them at Columbus.

They have a better chance of getting embarrased when they play good teams in the bowl game becuz throughout the season they may play one or two tough teams. They can also, keep things close becuz they constantly get good recruits becuz they have a big program and they are able to consistently have 10 or 9 game win seasons becuz they don't play anybody which brings in good recruits year in and year out.

So my biggest gripe isn't that OSU doesn't have talent and that they can't compete aginst the best out there but when you don't play anybody and you can consistently get good recruits and maintain a top program year in and year out becuz you don't play anybody that pisses me off becuz really you don't deserve to keep getting those top recruits when you don't play anybody.

Meanwhile you have a team like georgia or some other sec team who losses a game or two early on in the season and they have to win 8 or 9 games in a role to really get to a good bowl and when you tie in that half those 8 or 9 remaining games will be against sec opponents that makes things unfair for that kind of school becuz its a lot harder for them to go 8 or 9 wins a seaons compared to that OSU schedule.

And guess what when you don't win a lot of games it really hurts recruiting. Nobody likes to lose a lot of games.
