Ohio State among best when measuring losing seasons over last 50 years

The Ohio State football program is at or near the top of almost every college football historical stat you can think of. Most Heisman winners? Check. First round NFL draft picks?? Yep. How about winning percentage all-time? You guessed it — another check of the box with a scarlet and gray pen.

But perhaps the most fascinating when it comes to OSU’s showing among the blue bloods of the sport is the model of consistency we’ve seen. Seems like no matter who is coaching the Buckeyes, there’s some success. Some of that success has been at a higher level than others, but it’s still there.

In fact, Ohio State is sitting pretty when it comes to teams over the last fifty years with the least amount of losing seasons. As you would guess, other mammoths of the sport are also tossing out winning seasons at a furious clip.

Here’s a look at ranking some of the top teams that have had the least amount of losing seasons in the last fifty years — counting down to No. 1.
