I got nauseous when I saw the lines for Ohio State-Florida A&M and Miami (FL)- Savannah State this week. As I watch the Buckeyes almost put 60 up on the Rattlers before halftime, I want to vomit.
We all know the drill. FCS schools will take a nice paycheck from a big FBS school to come into their stadium, get steamrolled and go quietly into the night. Some schools (Appalachian State, North Dakota State) are exceptions at times and pull off a huge upset. With Florida A&M and Savannah State, the white flags are should be waving as the teams take the field. Weeks 1 and 2 are the usual "get your butt kicked for a big check" weeks during the college football season. The fact that it extends into week 4 is troubling. The Buckeyes have played Buffalo, San Diego State and California the first three weeks. So after having to play a formidable opponent out of the Pac 12, the charitable Ohio State slides the Rattlers of Florida A&M, (more known for a hazing death in the marching band than their football team) into their schedule for week 4. Savannah State is making bank for their program. Last season, they lost 84-0 to Oklahoma State and a week later, went to Florida State, and lost 55-0, which was ended by mother nature's mercy rule: lightning. The Tigers only scheduled one sacrifice this year down in Miami against a Hurricanes team on the rise. They are also 60 point underdogs. We can't stop it. It will continue. But please! Make the madness stop after week 2. 8:30pm UPDATE Ohio State beat the Rattlers 76-0 and Miami (FL) is having a good time with Savannah State in the 2nd quarter 42-0 with four minutes to go.
