Well considering the second best team in the SEC curb stomped the best team in the BIG10 last year, I would say that yea, it is true

The world has no idea who or where Ohio State is; therefore, you all had to put an adjective determiner before its name to pinpoint the Buckeyes as being the trashiest of Ohio's state universities.

We thank you for making this distinction.

I hate standing up for Auburn, but they are pretty trash. Safe enough to say that they won't be making the playoff.

I get why Penn State is pretty happy about being the strongest retard, though.

ESPN is cutting its nose off to spite its face in its war vs the Buckeyes.

Ohio State is the ratings king!

Purdue has 4 wins against BuckNuts since we went to the BCS / CFP

That would be like Mizzou beating tOSU

To be fair, Missouri did it when Carter was in the White House

As for unfair, why has BuckNuts played 11 times at home but only returned the game in Yankee Columbia ONCE?

Purdue>Missouri

I remember when Georgia lost to West Virginia who was not even in the power 5 at the time.

Most likely not...

SEC and Big 10 play 2 different styles plus Big 10 teams are built for mid to late October and November when the wind rain, ice, and snow arrive for the afternoon.

Top 4 in the SEC would be fine until Sankey couldn't protect them anymore and they had to play in the elements.

Ohio State will get smoked by said Top 4.

Love how you think we wouldn't love it, this is an SEC website

Coincidentally, that was the game that caused "Fire Mark Richt" to be typed by these fingers.

Wish we could fire him again.

The SEC hides behind Sankey/ESPN but the mouse is losing money fast so they will have to come out from under that skirt sooner or later.

And that’s why the fans tune in. Not to see their team win a championship. To brag to other people that they get the most views. lol when did you guys become such cucks?

ESPN would pick whoever they thought would have the best ratings. Not the best 4 teams.

Possibly, or possibly equal

Back to my main question ...

Why is tOSU so bad at playing home and home?

Using the Missouri example

(11/12) * 100 = 91.67% games played in Columbus
(1/12) * 100 = 8.33% games played in Columbia

Then why blame ESPN? Your conspiracy theories are juvenile. Grow up.

That's right. ESPN is picking the teams for the best ratings and that begs the question, why does ESPN fight to keep Ohio State out?

Alabama can lose a game and not 1 word of them being eliminated from the playoff. Georgia was dominated by in their last game but still, the mouse pushed for them to make it.

The Buckeyes lose a game and that's it, the media begins its propaganda to keep them out.

Why would I not like it? If the four best teams in the country are all in the same conference, so be it. I’d rather that than force some team that doesn’t belong in there “just because.”

That's because your state has absolutely nothing. No desirable cities (Cleveland, Cincy, Columbus LOL), no beaches, no coast, and miserable weather.

I've spoken to Midwesterners who claim that their entire winter is spent watching football (both NCAA and NFL) on the weekends because there is literally nothing to do.

When we're out boating, on the beach, downtown, etc., y'all are freezing in your houses, watching the Buckeyes.

Congrats on the ratings. A Southern team will still stomp your arse when it matters.
