If Sanchez wants to play his Sr. year OSU is in trouble
I think people really underestimate how big of a disadvantage the big ten is in bowl games due to how far they have to travel to play de facto road games, and the amount of time they have off because their season inexplicably ends so early.

OSU has been scheduling some tough out of conference games early in the year recently. I think this is smart. It gives the team a lot more credibility if they run the table. Of course they got stomped this year at USC, but we'll see what happens next year. I'm not saying OSU will win, but I think they have a pretty good shot at it.

In '05 they lost to Texas in Columbus 22-25, then in '06 won in Austin 24-7.

I would love to see a home and home with LSU.
