There is no off week in any conference. Conferences that have a conference championship game are tougher conferences imo. Conferences like Pac 10 and Slow 10 have a easier chance to win it all. Unlike Big 12, Sec, and the Acc.
i consider akron, kent state, and youngstown state OFF weeks for osu.
how can you claim to be THE best football school in the nation playing teams like this??? how?
there's no need to play nebraska or tennessee out of conference for osu, but damn, play somebody.
i think they PURPOSELY schedule soft teams like this to "pad" that record before the "run thru the other 8" and gauge themselves for the michigan game.
but both michigan AND osu got their asses handed to them last year in HORRIBLE beatdowns.
Bruh, The top two teams of any conference go undefeated or get one or two losses. The middle of the pack teams beat each other up. And here's the thing, the In Conference competition is so great because alot of those teams have piss poor quarterback play, so they all end up looking alike (Defensive struggles)
If OSU's unprepared, Northwestern has as much a shot of beating OSU as Ole Miss has of beating LSU
comment: ole miss is horrible, but they played florida tough, and they've lost a few close ones this year. now, did northwestern or ANY of the supposed competition in the big 10 even remotely challenge osu?
I thought he meant Oregon, when he said OU, but looking back I can see how the error was made. And I think Kansas State had already exposed OU for the soft team that they were, so it was really no surprise that year.
comment: playing a "soft" schedule and playing the "soft" opponents i the big 10 exposed the hell out of both osu & michigan. to you big 10 fans, it was a surprise when florida ran thru them. to SEC fans, we already knew the deal when osu showed up.
Just one problem there, LSU has yet to play a team who was competent in just about every facet of the game. The teams that were closest to that (Kentucky and FLorida), they lost one and almost lost the other. And Oregon has a better defense than both of those teams.
comment: oregon has a better defense? but who are they playing? i think oregon has yet to face a good hard-nosed, grind it out team like lsu-a PHYSICAL team with team speed at damn near EVERY position.
If LSU lost both Glen Dorsey and Tyson Jackson THEY WOULD BE FUCKED!
comment: they lost glen dorsey and his replacement did a GREAT job in his absence. can oregon or osu afford to lose ANYBODY on either side of the ball? [no hate] if dixon gets hurt, oregon is a 0.500 team. period. [/no hate]
You really don't think LSU's going to be just a tad overconfident going into the Sugar Bowl, with it being a home game, Les Miles last game before he heads to Michigan (Irony here seeing that he's choosing the Big 10 over the SEC), and the whole "We're the best team cuz are conference is so great" schtick?
some folks down here in the south are questioning les miles play-calling and wouldn't mind him leaving for michigan. lsu has been in too many close games to be over-confident about playing anyone.
it seems very evident to me that miles is taking all these risks to FUCK THINGS up before leaving for michigan.
i say, "good riddance," cause even though he's done a great job at coaching so far, THIS year is a very ATYPICAL year for his play-calling and risk-taking almost like he WANTS to lose a damn game.
i say,
"fuck les miles AND fuck michigan too. leave. go. bye." one thing's for sure, he won't be getting the same level and abundance of talent when he goes up there, and he's not liked enough to pull recruits from texas, la, miss, alabama, florida, etc. up to michigan.
Not when Miss State beats Alabama and the highest paid coach in Nick Saban.
miss. state has upset top SEC teams for a few years now. even though they're NOT the powerhouse team of the SEC west, the team AND THE COACH are very well liked and supported by black folks.
and don't think that having a black coach at MS won't pull some of the top recruits to MS cause it will. and when/if croom gets the right players in the right places, these so-called "upsets" will be the norm.
MS and the success of that program has a bigger meaning to some folks here in the deep south; it ain't about MS winning, it's about a black man succeeding in a place where black folks were once unwelcome.
btw, fuck nick saban and his money; he can go back to michigan state and the sorry ass big 10. he can follow les miles up there.
fuck 'em both.
