So Ohio State all the way again? Folks loved to rag on TCU/Baylor for their soft schedule. Who the hell is Ohio State playing? @VTech Hawaii NIU Western Michigan @Indiana Maryland Penn State @Rutgers Minnesota @Illinois Michigan State @Michigan

Soft/Hard schedule, it doesn't matter when you have the most talent in College Football by a large margin. OSU would win in any conference.
They may have an easy schedule, but you can't deny that Ohio State has some ridiculous offensive weapons. I wouldn't be upset if they coasted to the playoffs
Urban Meyer is just messing around now and showing off all of the weapons he has at his disposal. Jt Barrett hasn't missed a beat since last year either.
It is pretty ridiculous. Joey "J.J. Watt" Bosa, RB Jalin Marshall, WR Corey Smith & RB Dontre Wilson didn't play tonight [due to suspension]. Got 2nd and 3rd stringers who'd start elsewhere. That said, screw Ohio State. May they fail and wish all the worst their way. Don't fake another heart attack Urban!
They have the talent to win any conference, no doubt, but definitely not a guarantee they would. Put them in the SEC West or the Pac 12 and they could surely be challenged.
You can't control your conference schedule. If anyone is blasting Baylor and TCU it's because of their non-conference schedule. Baylor plays SMU, Lamar & Rice. TCU plays Minnesota, SFA & SMU. At least Ohio St plays Virginia Tech.
Props for Minnesota, huh? Not sure they even anticipated them being decent when they were scheduled. I'll give TCU props for scheduling well before they joined the Big 12.

So TAMU skyrockets in, but I mean... why weren't they ranked in the first place? Was anyone surprised when they beat ASU? Vegas had TAMU favored. And had they lost would that even mean they're so terrible? A "home" loss isn't good, but ASU was good on paper coming in. Rankings are dumb.
