So each team is going to play around 4 ranked teams. OSU's ranked teams are all in the 20's, but how is that their fault. Each ranked team was at some point within the top 10 or close to it and lost. Same with Florida or SC's schedule. The teams they've played were ranked fairly high, but due to upset's or losses. This isn't exactly comparing apples to apples here.

Their all playing ranked teams and the same amount of them. Teams have been consistently floating from ranked to unranked backed to ranked all season long. It's teams with staying power such as OSU, LSU, WVU that come out on top. They play tough football each week no matter who the opponent is. To take that away from a team and claim they play a "soft" schedule is rough.
First, good win today, even stronger reason for them to stay #1.

Now, you're telling me that TN, South Car, FSU and Auburn (Florida schedule unranked teams) are the same caliber as...lets say -- WIS, MSU, ILL and WASH??? And that PUR, WIS, PSU are as strong as LSU, KT and UGA???

I didn't think so...

Anyway, I'd love to see OSU - LSU in Januaru. That should settle it all...for now
