Their toughest game by far is MSU, and it is a home game.
At Va Tech is the next toughest, IMO - a road game - but they are not rated in the Top 25. As a matter of fact, none of OSU's other opponents are rated in the Top 25.
Their other non-conference games are home - vs Hawaii, Northern Illinois, and Western Michigan.
As far as the B1G goes - they do not play Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa. That is a huge break.
Their toughest opponents are probably Penn State and Minnesota, who they get at home. Michigan is on the road, so you might have to call that their 3rd toughest game, after Va Tech and MSU.
I really think they should be double-digit favorites in 11 of their 12 games. How often does that happen.
The one redeeming thing about this is that we should be a huge step up for them in competition when we meet them. They will be riding high, but will they have been tested?
