I certainly don't hate OSU, I just don't think that their schedule is one that an elite team should play. OSU plays it safe and it hurts them in the end, because they really don't face a top quality team (sorry Illinois) during the year, you get what happened in last years title game. OSU wasn't ready for a team like UF, also the long layoff that they had hurt them as well.
Maybe this year they will be more prepared and deal better with the 6 week layoff between games. I really think that the Big Ten should look into getting that 12th team (I know, Big TEN with 12 teams doesn't really make sense) so that they can have a conference championship game.
