It doesn't matter when you're undefeated. That only matters if you are battling multiple undefeated or 1 loss teams. What could be any better than looking good when you haven't lost a game. Nothing. In addition Ohio St has scored 50 or more points 4 times this season so what is it that doesn't look good about Ohio St to you?

The teams on their schedule.

No one. Wisconsin was by far the best team they faced and they barely won

Nebraska was the best team they faced and they beat them by almost 30. Wisconsin.

In part, the teams they have played. They have played a garbage schedule. I could care less if a team is undefeated if they have not played anybody of note. I have watched OSU and I am not impressed. Meyer will get that program right, but as of now I don't think of them as a top team. Records be damned.

Again the schedule you play doesn't carry a lot when you are undefeated. And it absolutely matters that your undefeated. You can lose to anyone at anytime and so far Ohio St hasn't.They can't help who they play, they beat all the teams they played so far. What do want them to do apologize because their schedule isn't as tough as some other team? You want them to cancel all their games and say 'hey we'd like to decline playing in the Big 10 and we wanna play in the SEC or another tough conference this year so people can say we played a tough schedule'. Nonsense. That's just tough **** if their schedule isn't as tough as another team.

Bull. They can definitely help who they play out of conference. They had a weak out of conference schedule. They didn't even schedule a road game out of conference. How many teams in the nation didn't play a single out of conference road game this year? I bet that is a short list.

What the heck are you talking about as far as an apology? I am not asking anything from OSU. I am just telling you what I see. I don't see a great team. I don't see a team that is truly deserving of a #1 or #2 ranking even though they are undefeated. The Houston Cougars were undefeated going into their conference championship last year. I didn't think they should have been the top ranked team, either. There were better teams with worse records, just like this season.

OSU fans are hilarious

They got caught and paid a very light price for what was done
They scheduled patsies and barely beat them.
ND beat two teams that are much better then any team OSU played in Oklahoma and Stanford
ANd of course you claim they had help
Which is truly hypocritical considering the favorable calls that BIg Ten Officials over the years have given to Michigan and OSU. Which is another reason they stank in the Rose Bowl so often. Without favorable officials they lose

If Ohio State was eligible and undefeated after playing Michigan, they would deserve to play in the NC game. Assuming ND is undefeated after they play USC, that's who should be playing them.

That’s why some intrepid Buckeyes supporters have started a petition asking President Barack Obama to pardon their football team. Ohio State is ineligible to participate in the postseason — including the Big Ten championship game — because of sanctions levied last season stemming from Buckeyes players receiving free tattoos and other gifts for game memorabilia.

[View Full Quote]Ohio State currently sits at 11-0 with one game remaining: Saturday in Columbus against the Buckeyes’ hated rivals — the Michigan Wolverines. If eligible, Ohio State would represent the Big Ten Leaders division in the Big Ten championship game. More importantly, as one of only two current FBS undefeated teams (Notre Dame being the other), an eligible Buckeyes team would play for the national championship if it could win “The Game.”

The petition has since been removed by for violating their terms of participation. It read:


“The Ohio State University football team is one win away from an undefeated season. However, due to imposed sanctions, they are not allowed to participate in their conference’s championship game or the following bowl season. While a punishment for past indiscretions is to be expected, a bowl season ban is too harsh for a few young men trading memorabilia for tattoos and some change. The offending players and coach who covered it up are no longer part of the program. Please exercise your executive power to pardon the NCAA’s excessive sanctions placed on The Ohio State Buckeyes to enable a rightful, satisfying culmination to the college football season for the American people.”

This is just the sort of thing he would occupy his time with. Awesome idea.

Oh give me a break with this weak non-con schedule bs. Every school has a weak non-con schedule unless you are Notre Dame.

I guess you don't know that they make these schedules years ahead. Ohio St doesn't have any weaker non conference schedule than any other BCS school. You play one BCS school, a mid major school and a couple of DI-AA's. Ohio St. has always scheduled a top level opponent in it's non con but when you make the schedule 7-8 in advance you don't know what condition that school will be in. They schedule Cal this year, had a home and home with Miami Fl last year and the year before.

They've schedule schools like Oregon, TCU, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma in the next 2-7 years but if those schools aren't good at that time is that their fault.

You don't really know what you are talking just admit it. I know because you keep making horrible points with each and every post.

OSU non-fans/haters are hilarious. They got caught and they didn't pay a light price. Anytime you miss out on a bowl game that isn't a light price. Give me a break. Do you really think what they did warranted more than a 1 year bowl ban? If you do then that fits into what I just said you are nothing more than a OSU hater.

Favorable big ten officials? What are you talking about? My goodness you are all over the place with your hatred.

When did I say ND didn't beat anybody? I said ND has barely gotten by in some games in some cases against lesser opponents but they have beaten some quality opponents.

You say the Stanford/Oklahoma are better than any team OSU has played. Stanford yes, Choklahoma hell no. I'll take Nebraska over them.

Well Ohio did put him over the top for the win...it's payback time.

Well at least someone has some sense.

Well, actually it was Cleveland, not Columbus.

But I get the point. LOL.

[RS12]

Yah, USC petitioned to have the season start back over at the Stanford game too.
