OHIO STATE 3RD SCHOOL TO BE NO. 1 IN FOOTBALL, MEN'S BASKETBALL
Two schools, UCLA and Notre Dame, have been ranked No. 1 in both football and men's basketball at the same time, according to research performed by Tim Bourret, Clemson sports information director, who sought the information for a book project. Ohio State (6-0) moved to the No. 1 spot in men's basketball Monday in the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll and to the No. 3 spot in the Associated Press writers poll. The Buckeye football team (12-0) is No. 1 in both polls, as it has been the entire 2006 season. UCLA was No. 1 in both sports the week of Nov. 13-19 in 1967. The Bruins were No. 1 in the AP and UPI football polls that week and had won the national championship in men's basketball the previous March. The first poll of the college basketball season that fall was on Dec. 5, 1967. UCLA was No. 1. The Bruins then lost to USC in football, 21-20, in the next Saturday (Dec. 9, 1967) to drop from No. 1 spot in football. Notre Dame won the national championship (football) in the AP poll with a 24-23 win over Alabama in the Dec. 31, 1973 Sugar Bowl. The Fighting Irish basketball team then defeated UCLA 71-70 in basketball to end the Bruins' 88-game winning streak and move to No. 1 in both basketball polls. That game was played Jan. 19, 1974 and Notre Dame was ranked No. 1 the next Monday. The Irish stayed No. 1 in basketball for just that week before traveling to UCLA for a rematch the following Saturday (Jan. 26, 1974, where they lost to the Bruins. Both UCLA (Nov. 13, 1967) and Notre Dame (Jan. 21, 1974) were No. 1 for just one week in both football and men's basketball. :

So, correct me if I am reading this wrong, but nobody has held this honor for more than a week? It seems to me it is about time a school that can handle the pressure step up and show how a real college does it!!:osu:

Ohio State has best of both poll worlds

School rated No. l in football, basketball

Tuesday, November 28, 2006 Doug Lesmerises

Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus-When Ohio State held a night football practice in August, junior Jamar Butler took his four freshman basketball teammates over to the Horseshoe. The Buckeyes basketballers lounged in the end zone bleachers, awash in the frenzy of football season.
Something must have rubbed off.
Ohio State became the third school ever to claim the No. 1-ranked football team and a No. 1-ranked men's basketball team simultaneously when the 6-0 hoops team was elevated to first in the USA Today coaches poll on Monday.
It's the first time Ohio State has been ranked No. 1 in a basketball poll since March 24, 1962, when the No. 1 Buckeyes lost in the NCAA championship to No. 2 Cincinnati.
The 12-0 football team has been ranked first in both the Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls since the start of the year.
"It kind of gives us pride that our other sports are doing well," basketball junior Matt Terwilliger said earlier this year of the football team's No. 1 ranking. "We feel we want to do just as well as them, and we feel we can."
According to research conducted at Clemson University, only Notre Dame and UCLA have previously laid claim to the top spots in both sports.
The Fighting Irish won football's national title with a Sugar Bowl win on Dec. 31, 1973, then moved into the top spot in the basketball poll with a victory over UCLA on Jan. 19, 1974.
UCLA won the national title in men's basketball in March 1967 and took over the top spot in the AP and UPI football polls on Nov. 13.
In the AP poll released Monday, Ohio State is No. 3 behind UCLA and Pittsburgh. The Buckeyes moved up from No. 3 to No. 1 in the coaches poll after the previous top two teams, Florida and North Carolina, lost last week.
Ohio State plays at North Carolina, ranked No. 6 by the coaches and No. 7 by the AP, as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge at 9 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN

We're living in a golden age of Ohio State athletics folks. We've seen a football program on the edge be saved and taken to new heights. In the past 5 years we've seen the best kicker and the best quarterback in school history. We've seen once in a generation talents at linebacker and reciever/returner. We've seen the second longest win streak in school history on two seperate occasions. We've seen our players set draft records. We've seen the hiring of the best coach in basketball and the rise of that program from conference also-ran to the #1 team in the nation. We watched our teams become the first in Big 10 history to win the football, mens and womens basketball titles in the same year.

I hope everyone is savoring every minute because it won't last forever.:osu:

CFN's Hoops and Helmets Rankings for 2010

The clear-cut #1 program in combined success for football and basketball this year is:

CFN

1. Ohio State - The Buckeyes needed a few miracles to get to the Big Ten title before blowing away Minnesota, but the hoops team remains strong and is coming off another great season. The class of the Big Ten entering the NCAA Tournament, Ohio State has ridden the heroics of Evan Turner and William Buford to a 27-7 mark and a No. 2 seed. If it can stay on track, Thad Matta's team is capable of cutting down the nets. The Bucks were atop the Big Ten standings in football as well, losing just one conference game and beating Oregon for their first Rose Bowl victory since 1996. A No. 5 ranking in the final polls has the program positioned for more than just a season-ending trip to Pasadena in 2010.

2. Texas
3. West Virginia
4. Wisconsin
5. Pitt
6. BYU
7. Florida
8. Georgia Tech
9. Clemson
10. Villanova
11. Oklahoma St
12. Kentucky
13. Michigan St
14, Cal
15. Temple
16. Florida St

Not only are we #1, but the gap between us and everybody else is huge--we win a BCS game in football and finish the season ranked #5 in basketball (with a #2 seed in the tourney).

The only other school with a football team that won a BCS game this year and that has a basketball team in the NCAA tourney is Florida, who didn't even receive any votes in the final basketball poll, is a #10 seed, and who many thought didn't even deserve a spot in the tournament.

Good times indeed.
