Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Ranking of B1G Title Contenders + [Note - schedules are weighted. As an example, a team may have the same number of bowl opponents as another team but be lower ranked if the opponent was a G5 bowl team in 2023.] No. 2 USC - 9 opponents with 2023 winning records (W), 11 Bowl Teams (BT), and 5 preseason top 25 ranked (Ranked.) No. 5 OREGON - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 3 Ranked - Not considered is 8 consecutive games without an idle week. No. 7 Washington - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * Ducks opponent in 2024 No. 8. UCLA - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 5 Ranked * 10. Michigan - 7 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * 12. Wisconsin - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 4 Ranked * 14. Iowa - 9 W/ 9 BT/ 2 Ranked 33. Penn State - 8 W/ 9 BT/ 2 Ranked 57. Ohio State - 5 W/ 6 BT/ 4 Ranked - Nothing like giving the biggest of the B1G a leg up, right? Edited April 8 by Jon Joseph 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buckeyes schedule is ranked No. 57 in the country. If you search the Phil Steele/NCAA strength of schedule rankings, the Buckeyes are not found until page 2. Among the B1G title contenders, tOSU has the easiest schedule by far and away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
