65 predictions, #41

#41: Week 2, USC at Ohio State, the suspense ends here: USC wins. Big.

The last non-conference home game Ohio State won that was of any consequence was 2002 against Washington State (Washington State was a top 10 team that season, I know, you really have to jog the memory to remember Wazu being any good at all). 7 years since their last REAL win at home out of conference.

Kudos to the Buckeyes for scheduling USC, but more kudos to the Trojans for putting the Big 10 in their place. I think Ohio State recognizes it needs to do more and has been more aggressive with their scheduling, but the flip side is: they just prove that the Big 10 is not what it used to be. Future OOC games on Ohio State's schedule (all home-and-home series unless otherwise noted): Miami, California, Cincinnati (2 home games for Ohio State), Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
