Missed 1 as well. Indiana finished the 1988 season in the top-20, but they weren’t ranked when they played tOSU.

Looks like Jack Sawyer makes an update to the record books with the longest fumble recovery td at 83 yards!

Not really a statistic, but a question regarding OSU history so maybe this is the best place to post it.
Is the idea that 1970 was an official NC year a newer development? Because when I went to school in the 1990s and even during the 2002 year, it was all..."Going for first title since 1968...." 1970 was NEVER mentioned.
Now it's considered one of the "official" championships. But of course, you can't really celebrate the 1970 team. What do you say? That team beat scUM and then entered the Rose Bowl against the mighty Stanford Cardinal and proceeded to choke away their undefeated season away.
It's not a real championship. In fact you could argue it's one of the more disappointing teams of the Woody era.

If we were Alabama, most fans would count 1970 (and tell each other that it was actually an AP championship)
But as for the banners in the Woody, every school claims every championship that is recognized by the NCAA, regardless if some other school has an equal or better claim to the same championship.
But no, we fans need not recognize 1970 as an NC year.
One of the most talented teams the Buckeyes ever had? Certainly
But no season that ends with that big of a disappointment is a legit NC to me
