Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema has been a man of very interesting words dating back to his team’s bowl victory over Texas.
He continued to be that same guy on recent SEC conference call, in which he took a few shots at Ohio State and their strength of schedule for the rest of the season.
Bret Bielema throwing shade at Ohio St's sched, opening salvo at selection comm: SEC is "whole other level in terms of competitive balance"

Bielema: "Ohio State has one game remaining with a ranked opponent. We have eight remaining against teams that are ranked."

Bielema said if "If anyone tries to argue that, it’s nonsense.” Hinted that SEC teams would blow Ohio State's SOS out of the water

Bielema makes a very valid point about Ohio State’s schdule. It’s as soft as the Charmin toilet tissue I have in my bathroom right now. That can’t and won’t be denied or argued.
That being said, Ohio State is the defending national champions, and they beat the big bad SEC’s best team last year on the way to do that. Ohio State can’t really control the rest of the Big 10 outside of Michigan State being hot garbage, they can just line up and win the games.
If you want to prove a point about their schedule being soft, start by lining up and beating them instead of sitting on a conference call complaining about it. I can tell you right now that if Arkansas and Ohio State lined up on the same field that I would be taking the Buckeyes by double digits.
They are the best team in the country and even their schedule can’t take that from them right now until someone steps up and dethrones them.
