How about Michigan playing Appalachian State a couple of years ago? Oh, that didn't turn out so great. How about about Ohio State playing Toledo a few years back?
Anyone can cherry pick!
Let's look at some of the Little Eleven out of conference games. Oh wait I don't have time.

Alabama does open with VA Tech.

Let's look at some of the Little Eleven out of conference games. Oh wait I don't have time.

I'm not cherry picking. The point was made that Ohio State always plays a weak non-conference schedule and I am offering that they do play some tough scheduled non-conference teams AND that the best (SEC) teams ALSO play some weak non-conference games. I was not trying to make a point that the Ohio State scheduled non-conference games are tougher.
