Welcome back to Remember When, where we delve into some interesting moments in Ohio State sports history.
Ohio State led by Woody Hayes — and with a little help from Minnesota —finished the regular season 8-0-1, Big Ten Champion, and was prepped to play for a National Championship in Pasadena. The decision on if Ohio State would make the trip to California was left to University faculty as the contract with the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl had expired.
The faculty voted 28-25 against the Buckeyes participating, and the Rose Bowl bid ultimately went to Minnesota.
