Why is it that OSU won't play OOC games with SEC teams?
I simple reason: Urban Meyer knows he could never beat an SEC team.

Ohio State is not afraid. The schedule just hasn't worked that way. These schools Big Ten, Sec etc have their own considerations. Coming up=Va Tech, Oklahoma, N. Car and TCU. However with their record against the SEC one could hardly blame them.

The thing is, all these other teams are picking up games one year or two years in advance to play in these classics. OSU wont do that. They will stick to their MAC and bottom of the pack Pac12 teams. But, their excuse always is "we schedule our games 10-20 years in advance and those teams were good when we scheduled them".
Scheduled to play Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Texas, TCU and Oregon as top tier opponents in home and home series over the next 10 years. They also have home and homes games set up with North Carolina and Boston College with two games also scheduled against Cincinnati. As was mentioned Tennessee and Georgia got cancelled before of the B1G/PAC12 series that the PAC12 then backed out of and Vanderbilt cancelled the game this season.
They've played Texas, USC and Miami in the past 8 years in home and home series.
But sit there and keep on thinking that they dont schedule anyone OOC.
And yes, this years OOC schedule is pathetic. Cal was scheduled when they were good and Vandy pussied out.

Um, OSU has had alot of pathetic OOC lately including next season. And they play in the crappy B10. Its not hard to go thru OSU's schedule undefeated or with one or 2 losses. But yet, they think OSU is dominant. Its funny how OSU couldnt fit in UGA and UT, but yet they hurried up and filled those weeks with scrubs after OSU cancelled on the SEC teams. Why didnt OSU make the offer available again, or pick up another SEC team.

If TCU, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Texas and Oregon are "scrubs" then yes, you are correct. Let's see mighty Kentucky go through Ohio State's schedule with "one or 2 losses".
BTW, who has Kentucky scheduled OOC EVER? They play Louisville (which is decidedly hit or miss) every year and a bunch of directional schools.
Finally, the SEC is only 21-17 against the B1G in bowl games since the beginning of the BCS era and it took a 7-2 record last year to take the lead in the series since 1998. Not bad for a "crappy" conference.

In defense of Vanderbilt the Northwestern and tOSU games had to be cancelled. tSU was scheduled for Aug 29 and N'western for Sept 14. When Slive released the SEC schedule we had Ole Miss and South Carolina in those weeks.

Understood and I didn't mean it as a bash directed at Vanderbilt. Sometimes things happen.

Well they stole a coach from the SEC, not the same situation as Wisconsin.
No, y'all stole the coach (more correctly, lured one wanting to see how he'd do against the big boys).
tOSU hired a coach that ran away from the pressure.
