The staff at Bucknuts, the 24/7 Ohio St. site listed the BIG schedule and asked the followers to list the games easiest to hardest.

1. Sept. 12 at Texas

2. Sept. 26 vs. Illinois

3. Oct. 3 at Iowa

4. Oct. 17 at Indiana

5. Oct. 31 at USC

6. Nov. 7 Oregon

7. Nov. 21 at Nebraska

8. Nov. 28 Michigan

Here are the first few answers. Remember to list easiest to hardest.

1, 4, 3, 6, 5, 8, 2, 7

1 Texas..WOW

2 USC..Road games to USC have not be friendly for the Buckeyes

3 Michigan..Still could be the Buckeyes toughest game

4 Indiana..Reportedly the most anticipated home game in Indiana history

5 Oregon...A WOW game but played on Nov 7 in Columbus

6 Iowa...A very dangerous game..Iowa plays like a elite team at home

7 Nebraska..Any other season Nebraska would be higher

8 llinois..Illinois has historically been tough for the Buckeyes

1. @ Texas. This one should be a barn burner.

2. AT Indiana - same coach is still there.

3. @ USC. They are building.

4. Oregon. Same coach. Paying top dollar for players on OSU's radar to try weakening the Buckeyes while Phil Knight's team gets better.

5. Michigan. I think this one is OBVIOUSLY a higher priority. However, it is at Ohio Stadium, and Michigan is not as good without their cheating.

6. @Iowa. Ferentz's teams don't have the talent, but they play fundamentally sound. This would be higher if the Hawkeyes had a QB

7. Illinois. Normally much higher, but considering #1-4 toughest games are all potentially top 5-10 teams with national title hopes... Illinois is no joke. But at Ohio Stadium.

8. @ Nebraska - Day doesn't get upset by unranked teams as a general rule.

1. @Texas

2a and 2b are IU away and Oregon at home

3. scUM

4. @USC

5. @Iowa

6. Illinois

7. @Nebraska

1 - 4 - 6 - 5 - 8 - 3 - 2 - 7

Finally, someone who read the assignment.

My order is 2, 7, 3, 8, 5, 4, 6, 1

Am I the only one who read that we should order them from easiest to hardest? YES!!

Great bulletin material!

Fans in general, and especially on message boards (excluding this one and few others) are general knuckleheads. There's no accountability, and you generally get little kids, or grown ups with Beavis and Butthead brain activity on there.

It's why I always recommend to anybody going to a big road game, that they hold judgement of said fanbase till you go to a tailgating, or local sports bar. You'll meet real people, and most of the time they are awesome.

Don't do what I said if you ever go to Europe for a "futbol" match. Opposing fans have separate get togethers, and stadium entrances/exits for a reason.
