The Ohio State Buckeyes have never had a low point as bad as the Texas Longhorns and TTUN's in the 2010s, the Alabama Crimson Tide's in the aughts, or the Oklahoma Sooners' way back in the 1990s.
The Athletic's Cameron Teague Robinson eloquently explained that point in a piece titled "Why Ohio State is the most recession-proof program in college football."
"At Ohio State, mediocre seasons never spiral to rock bottom. Losses never turn into prolonged periods of losing like the dry spells that have befallen every other blue-blood program, from Oklahoma in the 1990s to Alabama in the 2000s to Michigan and Texas in the 2010s.
