Oh my, that could end up being a great game!
Uh, I think it has to do with ‘strength-of-schedule’. Osu plays, ummmm, nobody! ;-)
True but tOSU won last year playing nobody's too.
Watch out for Arkansas this year.
Being so close without a decent coaching staff, heck, I'll say it -being so close with a horrendous coaching staff, I think this year's game will be a barn burner.
I doubt they can pull off a great run at the Big Ten this year, but they're going to be a whole lot better for a loooong time.
The New Ten Year War - Buy it when the book comes out.
;-) I’m simply trying to stir the pot! LOL
I just hope Troy can get out of the bottom 10.
At one time Troy was respected as a small school who consistently hit above their weight. A couple of years ago, the bottom dropped out.
Big Ten East:
tOSU
UM
PSU
MSU
Seems like a tough division in the coming years. Toughest in the country possibly.
Probably tougher than the SEC has been. We shall see. Should be fun.
Go Ducks!
The Occidental College Tigers travel up to Puget Sound for their opener, but I think they can handle the Loggers, whom we beat last year.
However, two weeks later, Pacific University (not to be confused with the University of the Pacific) will be heading down from Forest Grove, Ore. to the slopes of Fiji Hill to entertain us for our home opener. The Boxers were 6-3 last year, but here’s hoping the Oxy Tigers will rise to the occasion and make them roll over and heel.
The big game will be on Halloween against the Pomona Sage Hens, our archrivals since the days when President Grover Cleveland was in his second term. Last year, the Tigers blew out the Chickens 41-17, so here’s hoping we can extend the streak.
The thing that made the Ten-Year War so intense was that back then the Big Ten had a rule that only one team from the conference could go to a Bowl Game, and that was the Rose Bowl, and it usually was the winner of the Michigan-Ohio State game.
tOSU as PSU was suffering scholarship sanctions (OSU 3 years x3; PSU x 5). Imagine what Urban Meyer is going to do with a full his first full recruiting class and the stacked high talent. I know the SeC gets most of the talent, but Urban proved he can out coach Sabin who must have gotten lazy with all his prior recruiting talent to rely upon to win.
they seem to have made an effort to upgrade with the kids they brought in so i guess well have to wait and see. The new QB can can really toss the rock.
It’s gonna be a very depressing year for my West Virginia Mountainers.
Too funny anyone that has U$C anywhere near the top five. Their OL is avg., they lost their No. 1 RB, whom knew better to stay around for his Senior year. They have a good not great SR. Qb (compare his stats, patsy Teams vs good ones) with very good Receivers.
Their Defense will be worst than last year when they got run up by a number of a Teams. But the number one reason is they placed their faith in another highly over rated Pete Carrol reject asst. Coach. El Siete Sarkisian ALWAYS loses at least one game a year that his Teams need only to show up to win, yet doesn’t. This clown was a WSU loss away from being fired at UDUB in 2013, yet that Notre Dame loving lush of an AD hired him anyway. But when all the top flight Coaches wanted nothing to do with SUC, whatcha gonna do?
FSU vs OSU in the Prison Bowl.
(was a big FSU fan but Jameis Winston cured me)
Alabama will probably be “terrible” again this year and lose 1 or 2 games.
