At UF he had the step in the ring (on field and in recruiting) against 5/6 program that were either heavyweights or bordered on it.

LSU
UT
Georgia
Alabama
Auburn

and if that wasn't enough he also had to beat back two in-state national powers (Miami & FSU).

At OSU Meyer will be the undisputed King of the conference. A conference where IMO he will only have to face one legitimate heavyweight program (Michigan) a year in order to put himself into the national championship picture. On top of that he'll benefit from being king of the most fertile recruiting state in the conference while having the ability and name recognition to recruit nationally.

And best of all he'll pull in 4 million a year. Its free money!

In college football there is only one other idiot-proof setup that rivals OSU's and that is Texas. When you think about it the only thing that really ever stops OSU is scandal. So really if Urbie can keep the guns and ho's at bay he'll be able to win a shitload of game at OSU without suffering a breakdown.
