Pick about any college football program out there that has at least a modest history with Ohio State, and you’ll normally find that the Buckeyes have the upper hand.
Not always though.
Some teams have gotten the best of OSU from time to time. Some because of the era the games were played in, some because of bad breaks — and yes — some because the program was just better at that point in time.
We’re going through a series of looking at Ohio State’s record against teams in each of the Power Five conferences and we’re moving on to the SEC because, well, let’s be honest — there’s really no rhyme or reason and it’s not going to go well with this one. However, there is still at least a little success there, so we’re going for it.
We’ve already looked at the Big 12, Pac-12 and the ACC, and we’ll move on to some other fun OSU stats vs. the competition after this. We’re all about imparting the knowledge on you, so off we go with Ohio State’s fortune against every team currently in the SEC. We’ll go in order of best record to worst.
Also, after seeing all of this, don’t ever let any chest-thumping SEC fan tell you Ohio State has a losing record against the SEC. It’s just the top of the league that OSU has struggled against historically.
