Nobody in college football schedules more marquee out of conference games than Ohio State. Unless some other program starts doing that, this criticism holds no weight. Besides, Ohio State needs all the home games they can get to support the nation's largest athletic department. They don't have to trade home games with non-BCS opponents. Give credit where credit is due. It's definitely true that the SEC is the strongest conference in college football, but whining about it is pretty lame when you know you'd rather be in this conference than in any other. The tough schedule that people like to cry about hasn't kept SEC teams from winning more BCS championships than any other conference's teams.

He's exactly right about the Big 10. They're the most overhyped conference in college football and their granddaddy programs are living off successes from 50 years ago, when they were still avoiding playing teams in the SEC

Looks like TT has a 1-2 record to me vs. the Big 10

Something tells me Tubs is barking up the wrong tree here.

Tubs maybe can get back to this talk once he attains a winning record vs. another conference.
