John Cooper is one of the most underrated coaches in Ohio State football history as he continuously brought in elite talent and was consistently bringing teams to the cusp of greatness. But his legacy is not brought up in the same light as Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel, or Woody Hayes due to his struggles against Michigan and the fact that he is the first full-time head coach in OSU history since Wes Fesler to never win an outright Big Ten title.

Cooper has a string of insanely talented teams that would have made the expanded playoffs and below we are going to break down those teams.
