TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Ohio State and TCU will play a home-and-home series in 2018-19.
TCU said Tuesday that Ohio State will make its first trip to Fort Worth on Sept. 15, 2018, with the two-game set shifting to Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 21, 2019.
The teams have played six times in Columbus, most recently in 1973 when the Buckeyes won 37-3. Ohio State has a 4-1-1 lead in a series that began in 1937, a year before the Horned Frogs won their last national championship.
TCU's last Big Ten opponent was Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl after the 2010 season. The Horned Frogs won 21-19 after Ohio State President Gordon Gee questioned TCU's strength of schedule by saying the Buckeyes "do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor."

Re: TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
neither baylor nor a&m are ranked. (and a&m is no longer a big 12 team my friend)
and I would certainly put baylor behind UT, OU, TCU, West Virginia, K State, +/- Texas Tech.
Is that enough evidence for you that they are indeed a "Mid tier big 12 team"? Or should I continue?

Re: TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
The one thing I think most have wrong on this board is seeing the cupcake vs. lets play 4 top 25 teams argument as a simple dichotomy. Other teams including tech, A&M, LSU and others will use cupcake games to prepare for conference play. But in years where they know they'll have a ton of returning starters, they load the schedule. Trouble is you can't predict ulm and other cinderellas. I think a legit argument could be made that after we knew we would be graduating our oline, we probably should have ordered dessert...We don't have to schedule Baylor every year when we're in a conference that is real close to as good as the ACC and PAC 12 (check sagarin, average nbe vs others). It just makes sense to have at least one easy win. Maybe a slightly more manageable team as well. Your usual TCU or Baylor and so on. Even with slightly better recruiting than expected, I just can't find a win on next year's schedule. That'll be great for recruiting...

Re: TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
Look at ULM and UTEP, they go after the challenge because they want to prove something. Beating teams like SFA doesn't bring recruits. Also those two teams, can you imagine your selling points to begin with? Mediocre schools in academics, not the best p,aces to live, little job opportunity (outside of football). Yet they go after games people say they have no chance yet we pretend that we are an AM and/or in big conference so we need easy wins which is simply not truealamocitystang wrote:The one thing I think most have wrong on this board is seeing the cupcake vs. lets play 4 top 25 teams argument as a simple dichotomy.

Re: TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
Doesn't the new bcs-BS (or whatever it'll be called now) have strength of schedule as an integral part of the calculations in who goes to the 'major' bowls? If so, I don't think we need any cupcakes on our schedule - do we?

Re: TCU / Ohio State schedule home & home
Once the new rules come out, and we see how many conference games we have to play (8 or 9 - it looks like the SEC is going to play 9), then we can worry about cupcakes. From what I'm hearing, everyone will have to play tougher games which in the end helps the Big East. An undefeated Big East team that has played at least two quality opponents plus the championship game will be in the playoffs - you can bank on it. I'm hearing this from some ole barrel chested SEC know it alls! So, to get ready we need to play at least one Big 12 team and one SEC team (Vandy, Miss schools, etc.). That should set us up for success, I know that's the plan for Bama, Aubey, and LSU.
