This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

We play USC twice? That's innovation! by tdiddy07
Assuming you meant MSU, though, OSU just played that scheduled last year.
It played UM, MSU, OU, Penn State, Wisconsin. That was a more difficult schedule than ours this year. And it went 4-1 against them. It missed the playoffs because it was blasted by Iowa.
In 2015, Bama played Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Georgia, A&M, LSU, Miss. St., Florida. All were ranked when they played. Five finished the season ranked. The other two had 2017 Michigan-esque seasons. Three finished with 10 wins. And that doesn't count Auburn, whose 7-6 record was better than FSU's last year.
If playing teams that last year finished unranked, unranked, 15th, 20th, and 12th strikes fear in your heart, then you should see a doctor.
