I think you probably have to go back to..... what... Leroy Hoard? Jamie Morris? Butch Woolfolk, maybe?

Chris Perry was a decent college back, I guess.... Anthony Thomas, despite my insistence that he was all hype, played in the league.... But, still... you really do have to go back to the 80s, it seems to me.

Okay, before you go trolling Michigan fans with this, let's understand how this whole national championship thing works.

The NCAA does not award national championships in football, but it does recognize national championships awarded by other entities. Since 1950, the following are the national championships recognized by the NCAA:

Associated Press (AP) 1950-present
Coaches Poll (CP) 1950-1997; replaced by BCS 1998-2013; replaced by CFP 2014-present
Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) 1954-2013
National Football Foundation (NFF) 1959-2013

The so-called "major" national championships are the AP and the CP/BCS/CFP.

1954: Ohio State won the AP; UCLA won the CP
1957: Ohio State won the CP; Auburn won the AP
1968: Ohio State won the AP and CP
1997: Michigan won AP; Nebraska won CP
2002: Ohio State won AP and BCS (CP)
2014: Ohio State won AP and CFP (CP)

Ohio State is recognized as a national champion for 1961 based on its FWAA title (Alabama won the AP, CP, and NFF).

Ohio State is recognized as a national champion for 1970 based on its 1/2 NFF title (Texas won the other 1/2 of the NFF title along with the CP; Nebraska won the AP and FWAA).

So yes, since 1950 Ohio State has won all or part of an NCAA-recognized national championship in seven different seasons (1954; 1957; 1961; 1968; 1970; 2002; 2014). However, here's the actual comparison of "major" national championships between Ohio State and Michigan from 1950 to date:

National Championship Titles
AP: Ohio State 4 (1954; 1968; 2002; 2014); Michigan 1 (1997)
CP: Ohio State 4 (1957; 1968; 2002; 2014); Michigan 0

So in terms of major titles, it's Ohio State 8, Michigan 1

National Championship Seasons
1954: Ohio State 0.5
1957: Ohio State 0.5
1968: Ohio State 1.0
1997: Michigan 0.5
2002: Ohio State 1.0
2014: Ohio State 1.0

However, in terms of national championship seasons (which was the premise of the original post), it's Ohio State 4, Michigan 0.5

Hope that clears things up.

I love the honesty and integrity and all but...
