Ohio State is likely to play a pretty bad Hawaii team this season, but they're not even close to the worst team Ohio State has played out of conference. Who is?
After Ohio State opens the season against Virginia Tech, they play three straight games against non-power teams, in Hawaii, Northern Illinois, and Western Michigan. Granted, the two MAC teams on that slate are projected to compete for a conference title, and should be quality teams in their own rights, but nobody from that group is likely to excite a casual fan, or impress somebody who isn't a football aficionado.
