Yosef secretly stopped by the station and dropped off an Appalachian State helmet just in time for the Mountaineers to play UNC this weekend. I've been trying to get this addition into the (new/temporary) Lee Moore Locker Room for several years, and happy to finally have it! pic.twitter.com/V7Xd9MntUZ

Much like Conference USA, there’s no real incentive for Ohio State to play any of these schools. The SEC has beat up on the Sun Belt pretty regularly because of it being in the same geographical footprint, but to date, the Buckeyes have played just one school from the Sun Belt (Troy in 2008). The most appealing game here would be against Appalachian State because … well — Michigan.
