there was a poll todays and for those that are so bent out of shape about giving our Buckeyes an A because we played an FCS team… consider that we have only played 5 since 2000 and that only started because coach Tressel wanted to pay teams in Ohio and his long relationship with Youngstown State got the fcs into the mix at OSU starting in 07.

Since 2000
Ohio State has played  5  FCS teams 07-1, 08-1, 13-1, 23-1, 25-1
alabuma has played  20  FCS teams 02-1, 04-1, 07-1, 08-1, 09-1, 10-1, 11-1, 12-1, 13-1, 14-1, 15-1, 16-1, 17-1, 18-1, 19-1, 21-1, 22-1, 23-1, 24-1, 25-1

In 2017 Ohio State started playing 9 conference games while buma has never played more than 8 in regular season, finally the sec finally agreed to play 9 starting in 26 season.
