ND 8 OSU 7 - like I've said before ND isn't the only school with tradition
To back up my statement:
1942: (9-1) The 1942 team under Coach Paul Brown began with a first-game rout of Fort Knox, winning 59-0. Later in the season, the Buckeyes were able to battle back from a third quarter deficit to beat Indiana 32-21. Several more victories followed against USC, Purdue, and Northwestern, but the streak ended with a loss in Madison against the Wisconsin Badgers. While the Buckeyes left this game defeated after barely avoiding a shut-out, they rebounded with several more wins against Pitt, Illinois, and Michigan. The season ended with a win against the Iowa Seahawks, clinching the national title.
1954: (10-0) In what was only Woody Hayes? fourth season at Ohio State, he struck gold with a perfect record and a national championship. Several outstanding players made up the 1954 team including Howard ?Hopalong" Cassady and Robert Watkins on offense, and Jim Parker on defense. The perfect record was almost smashed by the Wolverines in the regular season finale that had both teams tied at 7 for the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, however, the Buckeyes scored 14 points and were ready to head to Pasadena. At the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes played a spectacular game against the Southern California Trojans, gaining 22 first downs and 370 yards on offense. They won the game and the 1954 national title.
1957: (9-1) After a first game loss to Texas Christian, the Buckeyes remained steady for the rest of the season, winning the last nine games. The team proved especially strong in the fourth quarter, allowing only six points in the last quarter all season long. Twice throughout the season the team was tested by second half deficits against Iowa and Michigan, but rallied to victory and another trip to the Rose Bowl. In Pasadena, the Buckeyes faced the Oregon Ducks in a tough match-up that kept the teams tied until the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, OSU scored a field goal and then held their ground until time expired in order to go home champions.
1961: (8-0-1) Scoring an average of more than thirty points per Big Ten game, the Buckeyes rolled to a tenth Big Ten Championship and fourth National Championship in 1961. Three running backs, Matt Snell, Bob Ferguson, and Paul Warfield led the way for the outstanding offense with Ferguson ending the season as a runner up for the Heisman Trophy.
1968: (10-0) The 1968 Ohio State football team lives forever as a legend with the Ohio State community. Eleven players from this team earned All-American honors and six went on to become first round draft picks in the NFL. Jim Otis and Rex Kern powered the offense which averaged 440 yards per game while Jack Tatum and Jim Stillwagon anchored a strong defense. The team?s breakout game came against the No. 1 ranked Purdue Boilermakers. The defense proved invincible in this game, scoring the first touchdown and shutting out the Boilermakers. The team tallied only victories throughout the rest of the season and found themselves in the Rose Bowl ranked No. 1, facing No. 2 Southern California. Coming from 10 points behind, the Buckeyes won the game 27-16 and secured their fifth national title.
1970: (9-1) At the beginning of the 1970 season, the Buckeyes appeared supreme, with an exceptional senior class and convincing victories. John Brockington finished the season with 1,142 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns. Rex Kern passed for 470 yards and 3 touchdowns and also rushed for 597 yards and 7 touchdowns
2002: Coach Jim Tressel?s second season boasts of a perfect record, a national championship, and a die-hard team that always found a way to win. Quarterback Craig Krenzel proved to be a play maker in moments when a game would hang in the balance. Chris Gamble showed incredible talent making landmark plays on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. The team won half of its games by seven points or less, leaving fans on the edge until the end. So many times, it seemed as though the game would be lost, but the team always, always pulled out a victory in the end. The last game of the regular season was no exception as the Buckeyes trailed the Michigan Wolverines 9-7 late in the fourth quarter, but pulled ahead before time expired. Heading into the National Championship game, the Buckeyes faced a top ranked and heavily favored Miami team. Overcoming numerous tense moments including a fourth-and-fourteen call in the first overtime, the Buckeyes broke Miami?s 34-game winning streak in a spine-tingling double overtime triumph. The team had at last proved that they were the best team in the land. Coach Jim Tressel was recognized with numerous coaching awards and honors for his exceptional leadership and tremendous success throughout the year.
You might want to fix that because your info is incorrect and to boot OSU has the most recent NC.
