Would a stronger mid-pack B1G make it harder to beat OSU? If the whole schedule becomes harder, that's more time spent preparing for mid-tier opponents.
I guess my point isn't specifically about Ohio, but midwest recruiting in general. Wisconsin and Penn State recruit very well in Michigan and other midwestern states. In a vacuum, Michigan may be getting similar recruits from other regions. But you're making life easier for your opponents that way.
Isn't the point that recruiting in Ohio takes away from other regional programs though? Recruiting is a zero-sum game and if Michigan is focused on recruits in a different region than their opponents, they are leaving the recruits up for the taking.
I think scheme plays a big part in how QBs develop as well. Jedd was able to work with the QBs and tailor the offensive scheme to fit their strengths. "Good shit, Jedd" is coming to mind at the moment.
