Quote:They don't suck but every year they claim they're so good and unbeaten. Then they go to the big game and lay an egg. I'm tired of the over hype Ohio State gets. They don't play any worthy out of conference games and the Big 10 is weak as it is for the most part. I dont think they're bad but they are definitely overrated.

 

Don't you know that is true for many other teams that are consistently ranked in the top 10? You also seem to not understand because California is a Pac-12 team it counts as a worthy OOC game. Looking back at past seasons with perfect records:

 

2002: Texas Tech

2006: Texas

 

In addition, Ohio State's first loss in 2005 was to Texas.

 

About the strength of the Big Ten: If you want to look at history, the same can be said about the Pac-12, Big East, and ACC.

 

 

Quote:I will remind you all of this come bowl season. Never mind that Ohio State currently touts the longest win streak in the country at 19-0, never mind that they would have vied for the national championship last year, if not for their bowl ban.


Back to back national championship appearances( in 06-07  )is not common among teams who "suck."


They aren't overrated either, if anything it's the SEC that is overrated.

 

Being one of two undefeated teams last year, they definitely would have met Notre Dame for the national championship last year because Alabama had a loss.

 

Not only did Ohio State play in two consecutive national championship games, the first time they got there as the #1 team by beating the #2 team (MIchigan).
