Possible Home and Home with Georgia?

[Kingbish01]

Get your panties out of a knot - I was referring to their OOC schedules...

My "panties" are on just fine. You just came off like you know NOTHING about college football. Here is your comment..."If the SEC takes off the skirts and wants to play big boys during the regular season again, I hope to see Tennessee or Florida" LOL...C'mon man. Fla plays FSU every year. UGA plays Ga Tech. Bama played Va tech. Tenn played Oregon. The SEC sched is like nothing else in the country. Oh I see, Auburn only beating 6 top 20 is not good enough...They should have played an Ohio St, or a Oklahoma and tried to go 8-0. You're delusional. HEY P.S...THE SEC...THEY ARE THE BIG BOYS!!!!!!!!!

ShamrockOnHelmet--I'm not trying to be nasty, so don't take it that way. I like coming here and talking football, so let's not go back and forth. We are on the same side. Cheers!

Speaking of Georgia that game next year against Boise St in the Georgia Dome should be a good one. Especially since Moore will be back for Boise.

Agree

UGA-Ohio State agree to future series

No dice. Agreed to a home and home in 2020-21 with Ohio State and are not likely to schedule anymore games against the teams they were looking at

“We were trying to see the first one we could probably lock in on,” McGarity said, “the first one that would basically say, ‘Yeah.’”
Now that Ohio State is on board, McGarity said Georgia likely will not look to schedule any of the other three. He views this kind of game as something that comes along “every eight to 10 years,” and the Bulldogs already are down to play Clemson in 2013-14.

It sets up a winner take all scenario... If OSU wins, UGA players have to forfeit that months salary over to the Buckeyes. If Georgia wins, free tattoos for the whole team!

Georgia would be a great match-up. That being said, our schedule is freakin' beefy as is!

Maybe we lighten up by 2014? Doubtful...

The more I think about this I think a killer schedule is best for Notre Dame. The BCS will not be attained unless we are top eight or so, why not play a barn storming big time schedule. The big stage helps the players and in times past we held our own. Bring it on. Maybe it will embarrass some of these other joke schedules from so called top tier conferences.

Look, I'm the only Irish fan in a family of 7 Buckeye fans. I've taken a BUNCH of $hit, the last decade or so, about ND football. And I understand how obnoxious Buckeye fans can be, but the notion that tOSU is ducking good competition is just not true. Since 2005, tOSU has played Texas (2x), USC (2x), and Miami(FL). I know that they play a couple of MAC schools every year, but that's a commitment that the Big 10 Conference made with the MAC, and then handed down the schedule to their teams. It's not like tOSU went and sought out MAC schools to play, to soften their schedule.

Yes and no.

Other than the isloated game against the teams you mention (and Miami is no great shakes) and playing Navy a couple of times, Ohio State has had a very weak OOC schedule for as long as I can remember. Regardless of how they got the MAC teams on the schedule, the schedule is still weak, esp. when the Big Ten is in a down period, as it is now. Plus it is a scandal that OSU schedules teams like Youngstown State, Tressel's past relationship with YSU notwithstanding.

No, OSU has no appetite for playing a tough schedule. They want just a token good team (teams that often beat them (USC twice and Texas once) and hope that beating "name" Big Ten teams (ones with past glory -- Michigan and Penn State) will keep its ranking inflated. And with the sad sack pollsters out there knowing so little and watching so few games, OSU's calculation so far has been right. But it doesn't make them good or its schedule good, either.

 

[palinurus]

Seriously, have you looked at tOSU's schedules for the last 15-20 years, or are you just speculating?

In the late 80s and early 90s, tOSU scheduled the likes of:

Pitt
Colorado
Alabama
LSU
BC
Ok St.
USC

I'm not saying that tOSU has played a murderer's row type schedule for decades, but they aren't ducking playing good teams, and never have. And keep in mind, they scheduled these teams while playing in the Big Ten, when the Big Ten was incredibly strong year after year. I still hate obnoxious tOSU fans, but I remain objective about the program. It is a quality program, and it has been for decades.

Take a look at those teams' records the years Ohio State played them; almost noon of them were elite teams the years Ohio State played them, except USC who beat OSU twice. And the point is OSU almost never scheduled more than one of those teams a year. (I say this, btw, as a NE Ohio guy, who has argued with OSU fans all my life, but by virtue of that, has watched OSU pretty closely, if only the better to root, and argue, against them.)

I agree both ways -- the SEC does have generally pretty weak OOC, but the conference plays the best football, and their conference schedules more than make up for the weak OOC. Picture Boise State playing Georgia's schedule.

 

[Kingbish01]

Boise would have lost a min of 3 games.

A killer schedule would decrease the chances ND plays in the title game

No team can go out and play a top team every week and expect to have a good enough record to get the requisite ranking. Yes, play a challenging schedule, but not a suicidal one.
