Ohio State fans are lucky. They can gripe about the lack of Big Ten titles and missed opportunities for more championships, but Ohio State has only two peers right now, Alabama and Clemson.
Urban Meyer has raised expectations to obscene levels so the losses feel more painful, but he’s lost just six games. That’s pretty incredible.
By comparison, Jim Tressel lost five in his first season, John Cooper lost six, Earle Bruce lost one and Woody lost three.
No doubt every season has been good, but some have been better. Here is a ranking of Meyer’s five seasons:
2014
Record: 14-1
Hardware: Big Ten Champions and College Football Playoff Champions
Biggest win: Alabama
Toughest Loss: Virginia Tech
The 2013 recruiting class might go down as the best ever at Ohio State.
