Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

Arkansas's schedule does look like pure hell.
Yes, but remember when half the SEC teams go 8-4 and lose their bowl games, they were still legit top 25 teams during the regular season and totally not overrated due to pollsters being too lazy to spend more than a few minutes on their ranking and defaulting to pulling SEC teams out of their ass to fill the mostly meaningless 10-25 spots.

Well, Bert, it turns out I made my own rankings and.... as it happens .... Ohio State still has 11 games against ranked opponents this regular season, having already beat the team I had at #2 last week. Of course, Ohio State's victory allowed Hawaii to move up to #2. Buckeyes can't catch a break with this schedule.
You trying to win the internet today or what?

I'm assuming you don't have PSU ranked and are just counting on the championship game for #11.

Hey Bert... the last four games that Ohio State has played make your entire argument invalid, despite the rest of our conference's teams best efforts to suck (Northwestern notwithstanding).

Also, anyone else catch that in the coaches poll, the SEC coaches ranked Wisconsin high enough that even after losing as pitifully as they did, Wiscy is ranked #24 to further the SEC's own self worth?

Arkansas's schedule does look like pure hell. Unfortunately for Bret that doesn't mean they are better than Ohio State. The best SEC team will make the playoff and Ohio State will have an opportunity to be them again like last year.

Catch Missouri and Tennessee from the East... one is an outright fraud and the other is inconsistent at best.
And we already know the SEC West isn't half it's made out to be.
It's more difficult than Ohio State's schedule... but that'll be true for all the non-Bama chicken littles. Just like Ohio State's schedule is the easiest among peers in East division because we can't play ourselves. With an OOC of UTEP, Toledo, Texas Tech, and UT Martin... a bye between Bama and Auburn, another FCS after those 2. Then finish with a 4 game stretch of teams that'll probably be above average.

Not like Arkansas has a chance either way. You could stick them in the Big West and not make it.

I went through this bull[Mark May] last year and the year before at the beginning of the season with my dumbass SEC buddies. They were bashing States schedule because we only had 2 ranked teams at that time on our schedule, blah blah blah. I said let's see where 3rd ranked UGa is at the end of the year along with 6th ranked LSU, and 9th ranked USC. Of course MSU at the time was like 20th or some [Mark May].

Not to mention last year we went on to drive a bulldozer sized shoe up Bama's ass. My dumbass Vols buddy said we would not go 500 vs UTs schedule at the beginning of the year. We argued and argued about it. Of course by the end of the year he then realized what an SEC dumbass he was being and admitted so.
I have a Bama fan friend who said the same thing about us VS Tenn's schedule. I guess it's an SEC thing.
