Given its talent advantage, I would argue Ohio State has had easy schedules since 2016, at least it has been in the Big Ten.
That luxury goes away in 2019.
I am wondering how the team will navigate through the conference unscathed when it failed to do so over the last four seasons. Normally I would not be too concerned about one conference loss, but I do not trust the College Football Playoff Committee to reward Ohio State anymore even if that loss was a close game.
The drums will beat loudly to include Clemson, Oklahoma and two SEC teams should it be Georgia and Alabama playing for the title again.
