Why is Ohio State playing HS teams on ABC Sat Night Football?

[Sean Miller Fan]

I know they are #1 but these teams they are playing are total jokes. Are these the best games ABC can come up with? Geez.

Are they playing Cleveland St. Edwards next week in prime time?

Now that the Cardale Jones experiment is over. OSU is firing on al cylinders and has pretty much punched it's playoff ticket.

ABC really picked some stinkers today. OSU - Rutgers. Miami - Clemson. Oklahoma - Texas Tech. You know you've had a bad slate of games when the most competitive one of the four that they had either nationally or regionally today was Michigan State's lackluster walloping of Indiana.

All you need to know about today's nationwide slate is that Gameday was at JMU in Harrisonville VA.

I get really tired of all the SEC games on - I just don't have an interest in them.

Why should I care about Georgia vs. Tenn., or Ole Miss vs. Arkansas. Games like that can't be that popular in the northeast.

Go Pitt.

If Ohio State is ranked or playing a ranked team, they will be on ABC. Been that way for years now. Ever since Tressel took over it seems almost every single week they're on ABC.

I don't know, they are most likely a lot more "popular" than Michigan State vs Indiana or Ohio State vs Rutgers. If you weren't an Ohio State or Rutgers fan what on earth would have made you decide to sit down and watch that piece of crap? At least a game like Georgia - Tennessee or Ole Miss - Arkansas is likely going to be at least somewhat competitive. Ohio State - Rutgers? Not so much.

Agreed, I watch a good bit of Ohio State, but not one second of last night's game. I don't watch them because I'm a fan or anything, but like mentioned, they're on ABC or national TV at least a lot. Ohio State-Rutgers is just a very unappealing matchup to me.

I mentioned this last week. I am not sure what the obsession is with ABC and tOSU? In 2 weeks, tOSU and Minnesota is also slated for a Sat nite prime time slot.

I almost fell out of my chair when Anish Shroff said during the Pitt Syr game that some people were picking Rutgers over OSU. My thought was WTF is this guy talking about. Nobody, not even the RU players or coaches would pick Rutgers. They are a piece of $hit excuse of a football team.

I turned it on once, sometime in the third quarter, saw that Ohio State was winning by something like 917 points and immediately changed the channel.

As I said, nowhere near the teams of the Schiano years. They have fallen very, very far. Not as bad as they were in the 90's/early 2000's, but still really bad. I'd really like to place a bet with that guy though. I would've gladly given him Rutgers and 28 points even.

Actual college football fans disagree for the most part. And there are very, very few college football fans in the NE. Pretty easy questions to answer.
