Tony, coaches don't just take such games at the drop of a hat. Auburn's AD has called Penn St., Notre Dame, OSU and Michigan to try and schedule games, none of which has agreed to do so. This isn't simply because they're scared, although playing dangerous teams isn't a coach's favorite...but such games are strategically planned to give the team time (usually years) to plan and to publicize. Also, Coach Tressel wouldn't be taking any calls, your AD would, and then presumably talk to the HC about it.
I think OSU solidly beat Texas, but Texas is now playing a lot better. Like I said, I think OSU is a good football team, but I don't see them as uncapable of being beaten. They remind me of Oklahoma in 04.
