Ohio State's Fraudulent 23 Game Winning Streak

Some facts that expose Ohio State's current win streak as a fraud:

1. In two seasons, they have not played a team in the top 15.

2. The highest ranked team that they have beaten in the last two seasons is #16 Northwestern this year.

3. Their non-conference opponents for the last two seasons:

a. Miami of Ohio

b. UCF

c. Cal (twice. Cal's record in these two years is 4-19)

d. UAB

e. Buffalo

f. San Diego State

g. Florida A&M

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be undefeated. And, yes, it does take skill to go undefeated even against super weak schedules (Just ask Boise State). However, Ohio State has literally played NOBODY of note. Yes, it's not their fault that the Big 10 has sucked, but it's 8 out of conference games have been pathetic. Also, they dodged any real team last year when they did not have to play in a bowl game. The simple fact is that they are a completely unproven commodity. I hate to see a team that has a patsy non-conference schedule get rewarded.

wrong forum. I guess complaining about them makes us feel better about ourselves?

Yeah, lucky for them they didn't have to play Nebraska in that conference championship game, as well.

They have roughly one actual good win over the course of 2 years. But you can't fault them entirely for that.

How can you look at their non-conference slate and say that?

Because A) Cal was a reasonably good team at the time they scheduled them and B) The B1G is just atrocious and they're going to be lucky to get 2 good wins out of a schedule they don't control and C) Urban and his players don't control any aspects of their schedule whatsoever - they only control what they do on the field on Saturdays.

edit- the Cal series was scheduled in 2004. No way to know how good they would be.
