OSU is arguably the best program post WWII

Ohio State football has had only 4 losing seasons in the last 70 years (since 1957).

Losing Seasons Breakdown

1959: Finished 3–5–1 under head coach Woody Hayes.

1966: Finished 4–5 under head coach Woody Hayes.

1988: Finished 4–6–1 under head coach Earle Bruce.

The 2011 season (Luke Fickell) initially resulted in a 6–7 on-field record, but those wins were later vacated by the NCAA, though it is frequently counted as a 6–7 losing campaign in traditional program records.
