If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

1969 - without that 24-12 loss, the SuperSophs would have had a 3-peat. The Natty for the 1970 Coaches poll was awarded before the bowl games, and tOSU would have been ahead of Texas if they’d been defending 2 Natties. The loss to Stanford would have only affected the AP poll.

The Florida loss after the 2006 season and the 1976 Rose Bowl loss in Archie’s last game are the next closest for me.
This. I've been a Buckeye fan since '68 and no other loss even comes close...

If I’m not mistaken, ‘69 also led to Woody becoming even more conservative offensively. IMO that loss had a huge effect on ‘70 and ‘73-‘75.

Could’ve been an all time run of NCs. At the very least OSU outright beats the cheaters and wins it all in ‘73.
