Ohio State has Texas but it also has Ball State and Kent State. Indiana has North Texas which has been a solid program. Is Ohio State's out of conference schedule tougher? Sure on the basis of Texas > North Texas but don't act like Ball State and Kent State aren't soft touches.
Sure if you take away playing on the road against a top 5 non conference opponent, their non conference schedules are exactly the same. Great point.

Well I guess you can punish Indiana by stomping them in week 4? I mean, on the field results are all that matter. What are you going to say if they beat you?

Ohio State vs Indiana isnt until the middle of October so your timeline is off but other than that what does a conference game between Ohio State and Indiana have to do with Indiana's non-conference schedule?
Indiana could beat Ohio State and be the best team in the conference again but that still doesnt excuse the poor non-conference schedule.

I'll take a page out of the SEC playbook. For years, many of the top SEC teams played weak out of conference schedules including those complete cupcakes just before rivalry week. The retort? "Our conference schedule is so strong that it doesn't matter." Now that the Big Ten is clearly stronger than the SEC and has been for a while, why isn't that a fine retort now for Indiana?

I wonder when was the last time bama started outside the top 10? 2007?
2008. We started 24th and beat the crap out of #9 Clemson 34-10 in the Chick-Fil-a Kickoff.

There are only 3 non-conference games. They have one solid game and you have one exceptional game. Now that means their schedule is completely weak? If you're better than them, beat them in the middle of the season.
