[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1970660, member: 2886"] I didn't realize that 42k draw on Saturday. That's really encouraging given the date and weather. Augurs well for next season's draws. They often were under Paterno from the late '60s, though certainly not annually. As an independent their schedule sometimes contained a handful of Top-20 teams, other years fewer. I'm guessing here but would bet that their schedule these days is on balance not that much more difficult. And Ohio State and Michigan aren't always Top 5 or even Top 10 at times. It ebbs and flows. OSU has had quite a run since hiring Tressel in '01 but less so in the '80s and '90s... good but not stellar. And Michigan was often mediocre after Carr retired, under Hoke and RichRod, until Jimbaugh found his mojo a couple seasons ago. [/QUOTE]
