Social media jabs Ohio State after revised schedule release
The Big Ten Conference released the revised 2020 schedules Saturday morning on FOX Sports. The conference decided this past week that it would start its 8-game schedule on October 23 and 24 to hopefully eventually play in the College Football Playoff.
Yes, the Big Ten was the first Power 5 conference to cancel the season earlier this year, but it’s back now. Thankfully, the players get to live out their dreams on the field this season.
Fans took issue with one aspect of the schedule announcement Saturday morning, too — Ohio State’s schedule. Yes, the Buckeyes play Michigan and Penn State, and specifically the game against the Nittany Lions may decide the Big Ten Championship. That happens in the second week of the season.
Below is Ohio State’s full schedule:
- October 24 vs. Nebraska
- October 31 at Penn State
- November 7 vs. Rutgers
- November 14 at Maryland
- November 21 vs. Indiana
- November 28 at Illinois
- December 5 at Michigan State
- December 12 vs. Michigan
Social media jabbed the Buckeyes after the release, saying the schedule is a cakewalk:
Big Ten gave Ohio State the gravy ass schedule again lol they don’t even try to hide it bruh 🤣🤣

Ohio State can literally sleep walk through their schedule other than 2 games and win

Obviously I’m not an Ohio state fan….. but 10000% fields wins the heisman with that schedule lol. Numbers will be on steroids

Start the conspiracy theories that Ohio State got an easier schedule compared to PSU and Mich because they were the catalyst in bringing back Big Ten football.

Urban Meyer on Fox says Ohio State has the “easiest” schedule in the East and Wisconsin has the “easiest” schedule in the West. Says they’ll meet for Big Ten championship

Ohio State has a cake walk of a schedule and I’m here for this!!

I’m not sure what they expect. It’s the B1G. Not a whole lotta competition there.
Umm, they play the two other strongest teams in the big 10!!!! When is the big 10 not a cake walk for a good team? Maybe the 80s???? THE BIG 10 IS A JOKE!!!!
If Ohio state loses even 1 game they should be out!!!! And let a 2 loss SEC TEAM IN!!!!! If they want the 4 best!!!! Talking about week 2 at Penn state. Might make week one and Nebraska a trap game!!!!
PS. Week one with Nebraska might be their only loss if they have only one!!!! Playing 8 games in such an easy conference is a scam right there!!!

At some point, people have to be penalized for rigging schedules.
If a team makes the playoffs with only 9 games played, it’s time to punish the selection committee.
If the Big 10 gets excluded from the playoff that would be the most satisfying thing of 2020.
Totally agree.
Agree also!!!!
KN
Looks like their only competitive game is Penn State…so if they run the table they’ll be in. I’ve read they have some issues at defensive secondary.
I know,right!? Who do they think they are? Alabama!?
Correct. Alabama plays 5 top 25 teams. They play 3 in the top 10. They added 2 teams. 1 unranked and 1 ranked. Which cheese would you like with your uninformed whine.
The Vols play 5 in the top 13, so who got a break in scheduling? Couldn’t possibly be the tide and dawgs, could it? Naw…didn’t think so
It’s because the Vols sucks… If they were better they would make Bama’s schedule tougher. Instead they bring Bama’s SOS down…
Bama plays 4 out of the top 5 in the East. They don’t play either team that finished at the bottom of the East last season.. Who do you want them to play?
who…Only Alabama is Alabama.
The Big14 is really watching out for their only true contender. I wish they would have given Penn States schedule for comparison.
Nebraska will beat Ohio State in week one, unless the refs fix the game.
Schedules not much worse than Clemson’s. The only ranked team they play is Notre Dame, so they have a cakewalk to the final as well. I think they should put two SEC teams in every year just because of the schedule all SEC teams have to play. Might be a good reason to expand to 8 teams.
Thus far all the ACC, SEC, b1g have all “rigged their schedules to ease the burden on CFP favorites. Clemson and Ohst have cakewalks.
SEC wise the three teams to feel the least pain of adding 3 extra conference games were bama, Georgia and Florida. Surprise!
Bama added Missouri and Kentucky with KY being a fairly tough opponent.
Georgia added MissSt and Arkansas. Cupcake city.
Florida added aTm and Arkansas with aTm being a somewhat tough matchup.
Big 12 every team plays each other so conference couldn’t tinker with anything to aid Oklahoma and Texas.
It’s pretty obvious that the conferences really want one or two teams each in the CFPs $$$$$.
So who does Bama play from the East? Who do you want them to play?
tailwhip…OSU’s schedule just smacks of Clemson’s ACC schedule…a stroll into the Playoffs.
Florida instead of Mizzou would be nice. lol
Then Bama would have the Top 4 SECe teams with GA, FL, TN & KY. Bama obviously didn’t benefit as much as GA and FL did.
As for Tennessee, I think it was somewhat fair with Vols picking up Aub and aTm. I would rather have Ole Miss & MissSt for Lane Kiffin and almost hired HC Leech. Those two would have made for some good football drama.
Ah so you’re just being bitter… No real reason for your crying…
The two highest rated B1G teams just so happen to receive the easiest schedules.
What was that all the B1G fans were saying? They always gripe about the SEC playing a 8 game SEC schedule. Hilarious!
It’s the B1G, nobody came closer than 14 points to them last year.. That was Wisconsin the second time they played them. It is what it is. Can’t really say the Big 12 is much more competitive, and the ACC isn’t either. For Ohio State it’s their original pre shut down conference schedule minus Iowa.. Does anyone really think it will make much of a difference to add Iowa back in their schedule?
Gosh the media loves some twitter. I love stories like this, where they show screenshots of a tweet that has just one “like”.
Why not just copy and paste comments from the comments section of this site?
The ability of the media to overestimate the importance and impact of twitter is mind-boggling. It’s the most pervasive, oppressive “bubble” in our discourse.
Heck even Vandy or Arky would have gotten way more likes than that.
B1g football is irrelevant!
Lol, I can’t wait to beat your azz’s this year Gomer-
I doubt it but you have a great HC now and vg DC. In three years Arky will be a force to reckon with in SECwest.
Your schedule is beyond ugly with the top 7 teams in the SEC.
