While we all enjoy bashing Ohio State's schedule and wanting to rank Oklahoma so high. Who exactly has Oklahoma beaten this year?
Their two biggest wins were Texas and Missouri. Texas who got thrashed by K State and Missouri is the Big12 version of Purdue. Good thing for Oklahoma is that is as hard as it is going to get... at Ohio State has some games against real opponents left.

Facts...
Oklahoma beat North Texas, Miami (FL), Utah State, Tulsa, Texas, Missouri
Combined record of 19-20
Ohio beat Youngstown State, Akron, Washington, Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue, Kent State
Combined record of 23-23
I would say neither team has a stellar opponent list at this point with only a few quality wins. I personally think the wins OU has had against Texas and Missouri trump OSU's win against the Boilermakers. There is still a lot of football left. Power ranking-wise, both schedules are not great. If someone like Arizona St. or Cal were to win out, I would think they would be lofted above both OU and OSU.

I think if you are trying to compare Missouri to Purdue. you are insane. OU's strength of schedule is better than OSU's. Everyone is bashing OSU because they are number 1 right now and they are obviously not the best team. If they run the table however the do deserve to get dominated again in the National Championship game.

OSU's schedule is the 118 easiest out of 119 D-1 schools! OU has an easy schedule as well but nowhere NEAR OSU's. OU will win out easily, they'll crush Texas Tech which is their hardest game left. OSU does the same, so they may play ea. other in a BCS bowl.

Yep, everyone is hatin on Ohio State, but there are other teams out there with the same kind of schedule. Like BC, the best team they've played is GTech. And Michigan is good, Mike Hart brought them back and they're back in the Big10 race. I'd say that scUM is much better than PSU. PSU is falling apart, Ohio State is undefeated when they play scUM!!!

wait a minute OU still has to play texas tech. The Southwest version of Hawaii. The question is can OU run with the Red Raiders?

Ohio State has some real opponents left? Penn St. is their only oppenent on the schedule who is worth a darn this year...and what are they 25th?
Michigan might be a traditionally big time opponent, but they are toothless wolverines this year. I'm sorry, but you don't get credit for years past.

Youre completely out of your mind by implying that Missouri and Texas are overrated. Clearly you hate OU and will post anything to demean them.

Who has Ohio State beaten? Big Ten is a sham this year, but they did beat Kent State.
