By itself I would agree.

However, Gene backed out of Tenneessee and Georgia and hasn't put them back on the schedule yet. This says that Smith (and OSU via him) is afraid of the SEC. Screw Gene Smith! Put UT and UGA back on the schedule!!

UGA Athletics Director Greg McGarity told Macon.com that Ohio State canceled the series ?due to the Big Ten-Pac 12 game that was added recently.? He also told OnlineAthens.com that ?The bottom line, they said they couldn?t play.?

Also the SEC is possibly moving to a 9 game conference schedule,but haven't decided one way or the other. So most SEC schools are not looking to add until they know what is going on with that.

Not all Gene's fault

No way. I'm the lone Dawg fan here and nobody thinks Ohio State is scared.
The technicalites of planning these games 3-5 years in advance and the sheer luck it takes for all things to work out perfectly are mind boggling.
Our series was cancelled due to flat out bad luck.

And the Big 10 Pac 12 deal is now off. I won't direct this at you since you aren't Gene... but I wonder what the excuse is now.

Yes, I realize I went overboard by saying 'scared' but if this is the conference that wins the national championships, then this is the conference whose teams we need to beat.

With a 7-2-2 record in the regular season against the SEC, no one can say Ohio State is afraid of the SEC. OSU just can't regularly beat SEC teams with a long layoff.

Coop regularly lost big games, didn't matter who the opponent was.

Glendale was a no-show.

LSU was better than everyone that year when Dorsey was healthy.

OSU beat Arkansas with a long lay-off

I don't see the "can't" in there.

Don't know about the "can't" but that game had to be vacated. There is definitely a jinx against SEC teams there.

We still beat Arkansas on the field, which supports his point. That the game was administratively deemed uncountable as win doesn't change the fact that the game took place.

As for the LSU game (not directed at you, ant80), we were a couple of plays from at least being tied at the end of regulation: The punt personal foul on Spitler and the dropped/stripped TD by Robiskie.

Major college football powers returning to bold scheduling of exciting non-conference games

Even as news broke Tuesday of Ohio State locking in a couple of intriguing future games ? a home-and-home deal with TCU starting in 2018 ? Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith was looking for more.

Fans, thrilled at the prospect of a new quality opponent and a chance for Urban Meyer to reach into Texas recruiting grounds, were buzzing. Ohio State already had Cincinnati of the Big East locked in for 2018. Now here was a Big 12 team, too. In the past, Ohio State may have added two local Mid-American Conference schools and called it a day.

Not anymore.

"We will play two more BCS games that year," Smith told Yahoo! Sports via email Wednesday, using the parlance for a quality top six-conference opponent.

So a non-conference schedule with no MAC schools, no Sun Belt teams, no games against teams from the old I-AA ranks ? all of which are often dull mismatches? In the past few years, major powers have played three and even four of them per season.

Ohio State, while in general always one of the more aggressive schedulers, now may take it to the ultimate level and skip the cupcakes altogether ? anytime, anywhere for Meyer's program. And it's not just about the opponent's conference. It's are they a likely high-quality team from a strong conference?

"That year [2018] is a snapshot of future years," Smith said. "As we move forward, from 2018 and out, our goal is BCS only. We are looking at top ranked teams, 1-50 teams."

Welcome to the best trend in college football, the return of bold, exciting non-conference play.
