And no one in their right mind would have tried to secure Iowa or northwestern as schedule boosters heading into this year.
The reality is osu is finishing up a rough patch in their scheduling. This year and last are thanks to vt falling apart since they were scheduled. The few years before that were a rare lull in quality headliner opponents.
It's such a crap shoot. Miami and usc were on top of the world when they were scheduled. When the games rolled around they were very good, kind of good, mediocre and above average.
Conversely, Texas was the best ooc matchup in a decade and they were far from a powerhouse when they were scheduled. Heck they weren't even that good the year before traveling to Columbus and winning the National title.
Along those lines, tcu looks like a great match up on paper and that was far more than they bargained for when it was scheduled.
In the time frame since they were scheduled to play osu, oklahoma has gone from elite to suspect to good to suspect and might go back to being quite good again.

Yeah OOC is tough, as you schedule it years in advanced and that team could be worthless by the time the game rolls around.

Evidenced by the fact that even with all the hoopla, they didn't sniff the top-25 and Vegas pegged them as dogs to (then unranked) Utah - demonstrating not only low expectations to go with their crap performance but also that even while the media was running their gums -- nobody was willing to put money on it.
We have countless posts making fun of BXII and ACC too.. not as much with PAC for whatever reason (timezone?)
They're really not any better... it's a world of suck outside the top 15-20 programs.
I have no desire to defend the mediocrity of the B1G.... most of the Western division is junk. So is the entire ACC and all but 3 teams in the BXII.
How many years do we have to hear about UW making a comeback (like they were ever a dominant power for more than a few years)? It's almost as bad as scUM.

They'll lose 4-5 games this year and then everyone will say how our schedule is weak and we should be playing someone tougher than Oklahoma lol

Going through a software program creating name badges for the office Sales/Business Development team. Needed a little help so I consulted the help guide. One of the screen shots for image options.
