Atlanta would be a pretty neutral site for Ohio State, really.  The crowd might be 60-40.

Yeah, pre-BCS it was unheard of to schedule a MAC team.
I remember my dad being pissed in 1995 when Michigan had home games against Miami(Ohio) and Memphis, that season ticket holders still had to pay same price for those.  That was the first time I recall them playing a mid-major...and they played two.  They played Virginia in the Pigskin Classic and also BC, but still.  That was it, until 1998, when they hosted Eastern Michigan

In 1971, UGA finished 10-1, beat Oregon State, Tulane, Clemson, and Tech, and went to the Gator Bowl.

They lost a late game to Auburn where Sullivan made some miracle throws.

Gator Bowl, yay.  Beat UNC.

1935-1991:
  •  n/a



kind of an interesting deep dive into the Ohio/Mac patterns. 

  • There was a clear pattern at one point where they rotated through each Mac-Ohio opponent thrice.
  • Somehow BG got an extra game tacked onto each end of this, with the 92 trial balloon game, and then the 2015 Urban Meyer appreciation game. 
  • Toledo was ready to back out of it after getting boat raced in 98, and had to be coddled with a "home game" at Cleveland Browns stadium.  
  • They intend to play each Mac school outside of Ohio at least once. 
  • They haven't played CMU or Ball St yet. 
  • Marshall got two games, even though they left the Mac in the middle of all of this, likely due to the fact that you could drive a golf ball into Ohio from their campus. 
  • Cincinnati has really racked up a lot of OSU games despite many cancellations and push backs along the way, mostly due to the initial 4-1 that they had to agree to in order to secure that "home game" at the Bengals stadium, which they nearly won. 
  • Tressel hooked Youngstown up with back to back games in 07 and 08, the first of which was simultaneous to that time that the Wolverines lost to Appalachian State.

With Nebraska as their (albeit bad) fixed crossover, OSU is the only one that has to play all of the "helmet" teams every year.

Sure, in the Spring Game. O0

Yes a lot of teams have a tougher schedule than OSU because they have to play OSU, and the Wolverines have a REALLY tough schedule because in addition to having to play OSU they don't get to play themselves.

Yes, Nebraska ducking themselves REALLY boosted that bad boy into the top slot.

didn't duck the top team in the MAC!

Isaiah Hole of Wolverines Wire, the Michigan affiliate site for USA TODAY Sports, recently ranked the top "trap game" for every Big Ten football program in 2021, and for the Huskers, the game to circle isn't against a Power 5 opponent. According to Hole, Nebraska's Week 2 home contest vs. Buffalo is the game to be wary of, and the case for such was made below:

"Buffalo has new leadership in Maurice Linguist, who will try to build upon the exemplary job that Lance Leipold did. The top team in the MAC, the Bulls could take down just about any Big Ten team if they’re not firing on all cylinders. And the Huskers have been a team that’s struggled to do precisely that in Scott Frost’s tenure.

Just imagine how tough Nebraska's schedule would be if their other two crossovers were against good teams like Indiana, Maryland or Rutgers, instead of the two Michigan teams that were fighting for last place.
