I’m shocked that this hasn’t been posted or reported on anywhere, even as this scenario is very plausible this season. Ohio State has won 8 national championships: 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970, 2002, and 2014. Here are the results from every matchup against That Team Up North from those seasons:
1942: OSU 21-UM 7
1954: OSU 21-UM 7
1957: OSU 31-UM 14
1961: OSU 50-UM 20
1968: OSU 50-UM 14
1970: OSU 20-UM 9
2002: OSU 14-UM 9
2014: OSU 42-UM 28
So for the next time anyone asks an Ohio State fan how they’d feel about winning a national championship without defeating Michigan: we literally have no idea. It’s never happened before.
🤷♂️
Edit: Yes it’s true that prior to the CFB era losing this game usually meant our season was over. That’s why we don’t know how to react.
Edit 2: I’m not surprised that this scenario has never happened, I’m surprised that any time we’re asked how we’d feel about it that no one talks about this.
