And Hawaii's Coach wonders why they dont get a shot at the title with a SOS at 119 and 142.:irked:

I've never understood how Sagarin gets his SOS. I've always felt there is a west coast bias to it.

 

For example, USC's opponents have a combined record of 56-70. If you take out Oregon and Az St, the rest of the teams are a combined 39-65. How does that equate to th 33rd SOS. I think the CBS one is more accurate at 74.

OSU coming in with the 43rd ranked schedule. Might want to beef up that OOC schedule with more than Kent State, Akron, and Youngstown St.

I agree. They need to step out of the MAC a little bit.

If they want to be nice and play in state schools, perhaps they need to travel to Cincy.

I would like to see that. Didn't UC and OSU play last year? I think so.

Why would they? They seem to always get a good ranking with a weak ooc schedule, why risk another loss?

tOSU has USC, Youngstown State, and Troy

LSU in 2008 plays North Texas and tOSU opponent Troy

UF has Hawaii, and Citadel

While Auburn has probably the toughest OOC schedule I've seen with WVU, SoMiss, and the cupcake UL-Monroe

USC will beat OSU in 08. Where is that game at?

On the surface, very true. A BCS bid is the best they can do with their SOS.

 

But how many "powerhouse" teams refuse to schedule teams like Hawaii and Boise State?

If I were picking the 4 best teams RIGHT NOW, I'd pick WVU, Florida, LSU, and maybe USC.

 

The Trojans have looked really good lately. I really think they have one of the best teams in the nation right now, but they didn't get it done earlier to give themselves a chance. If college football had a playoff, I think Southern Cal would be a dangerous team. I think they'd have a really good chance at a national title in that scenario.

Why should OSU do anything different?They get in on their name and a weak schedule every year almost.Talking about KU being exposed,remember OSU last year.If they come in the back door this year they will get it again.

I guess I missed the part where KU was blown out (by the current #1 team in the country, mind you.)

 

I think 'Fraud. Exposed.' is a little harsh, even if I don't think the Jayhawks are a top 4 team.

 

 

(I know KU had to rally against Mizzou, but unless we're willing to say that UT 'exposed' Kentucky, when you score the points shouldn't be as important as the fact that you scored them.)

 

Notice how high (or not) my regards are the current #1 team in the country. Therefore, your point about KU not getting blown out has little merit with me. The Big 12 is bad this year - Big 10 bad almost.

 

Exposed means that while many were touting them as a legit title game contender, they were exposed to be a team that wins against decent teams but cannot win the ONE game against a tough team. I'm not sure what else you can call it.

You are right. Hats off to OSU for taking advantage of the system.
