More stats of the SEC to discredit your argument about OSU not travelling and playing 7 or 8 home games a year.

SEC travels less than half as many miles as any other conference in the nation. Big Ten more than doubles the travel miles than the SEC and the PAC 10 triples them.

Since 1980, Georgia has played only THREE out of conference road games with a total miles travelled of 350 (majority of that was aa game @ Clemson). 350 total miles in almost 30 years? # ooc road games in 30 years? And YOU want to complain about OSU who has atleast 1 road OOC game EVERY YEAR?



Florida hasn't played an OOC game out of the state of Florida in the last 10 years.

Try travelling out of your comfort zone for a change. Try travelling across the country like OSU and USC has to do.

The SEC is a FRAUD but you only want to talk about OSU for the ONE year where they ended up playing a bunch of bad teams. You conveniently forget all of the powerhouses that they have played and continue to schedule for the future.

Sad. You are sad and the SEC is sad.

7-23 lifetime against the SEC....0-9 in Bowl games vs the SEC....can't spin that. Deal with it.

So OSU doesn't play 7 or 8 home games a year? That's news to me.

And it's the SEC's fault that other conferences are geographically more spread out than the SEC?

Your inferiority complex for the SEC is staggering. Go whine on Bucknuts.com. Talk about not being able to let stuff go....

OSU OOC Road Games from 01-Present

01-@UCLA
02-@Cincy
06-@Texas
07-@Washington
08-@USC

UGA OOC Same Period

01-@Georgia Tech
03-@Clemson
03-@GT
05-@GT
07-@GT
08-@Arizona St.

The only difference between the two schedules is that fact that UGA has a natural in state rival that they play home and homes. They each schedule one away game a year, and almost all of the home games are against so called weaker opponents. I don't know, that looks like more than 3 road games since 2001, not 1980. Sure there aren't many miles to travel to Atlanta, but it is still a road game. OSU has scheduled Texas and USC in the last few years, great. But they need to, because the conference isn't that great most of the time. I used to love Big Ten football because it was a tough conference. It's not anymore. That is a fact. The SEC plays faster and stronger than the Big 10, and they are just a better conference. That means that OSU has to schedule 1 tough OOC game, just to prove to the pollsters that they should get consideration. I don't know, just my opinion. I'm sure Tek is going to say I know nothing, and that GT shouldn't count as a road game, it is in the same state and everything. Try to spin it whatever way you want, I am an outside neutral observer that doesn't hate OSU, and I don't love the SEC. I am calling it as I see it, and using the "Facts" you put out there to start the thread.

Fixed it for you.

Thanks, I forgot to write that one down.

there can be all the stats in the world but when my own two eyes watch the game, the sec games are better to watch with better players.

Might I add that Florida always plays Florida State, and this year they play Florida State and Miami OOC. So they don't have to travel out of state, it again isn't their fault that they have better competition in their state. OSU plays at least one state school a year, and they always play at home except Cincy a few years back. You can't say that about Florida. BUT, I do understand that the schools want to play at OSU for the money. I don't have a beef there.

The UC game was more like a Neutral site than a true road game.

The game was played in Cincinnati, I don't know what else you want. The thing is it doesn't matter where Ohio State plays another Ohio team, the OSU fans would take away the home field advantage.

Here's a hint... it rhymes with "Nippert Stadium".

Your second point is pretty valid, but playing on-campus vs. a stadium twice the size away from campus (with different ticket-selling options, I'm sure) and of course you're opening it up for more fans from the bigger school.

Ask Wisconsin.

They got OSU to play them in their city, you can't ask for more than that. Wouldn't matter if it was at Nippert, OSU fans would buy season tickets to Cincinnati just for that game and sell the rest. Some Cincinnati fans would sell their tickets to OSU fans knowing they could make a nice profit. OSU would get at least 35% of that stadium and that's still probably too low. I'd say Cincinnati is the only school in the state that would be able to maintain at least the majority of the crowd because they don't have as many alumni or students that grew up Buckeye fans and would buy tickets to root for OSU.

Since this is going to go absolutely nowhere, let me just remind you that UC plays their home games at Nippert Stadium.
