Does this mean Ohio State could be moving away from their dedication to playing Ohio MAC schools on a yearly basis? I know this is thin evidence of that, but that seemed like a Tressel initiative. I could see Meyer not wanting to play intrastate games.
Take this for what its worth:
2012: MAC = Fiami, no other Ohio schools (i.e. YSU)
2013: Buffalo (no OHIO schools)
2014: MAC = Kent, also plays Cincinnati
2015: MAC = NIU, no other Ohio schools, but only 3 (of 4?) non-conference games listed
2016: MAC = BG, only 2 non-conference games listed
2017: No Ohio/MAC teams, but only 2 non-conference games are listed
2018: No MAC teams, Cincinnati is listed, but its the only non-conference game listed.
