Ohio State football bowl history by all-time appearances, records

Ohio State football has an illustrious history of bowl games. Here’s a complete list by number of appearances, records, and results.

If you are an Ohio State football fan, coach, or player, watching the scarlet and gray in a bowl game has become a bit of a birthright almost. The last time the Buckeyes did not make it to a bowl was in 2012, but that was because of a postseason ban because of what’s laughable now — the tattoo scandal. Before that, it was 1999 with a subpar team.

The point is, the Buckeyes have a rich, rich bowl history and have been to every major bowl and then some. We thought it’d be fun and interesting to compile a list of bowl games Ohio State has appeared in through its illustrious history, complete with a record in that bowl and the last result.

With OSU, we’ll have to update this yearly, but here’s where things stand right now. While we’re at it, we’re going to go out on a limb and predict another fantastic bowl for the 2021 season as well.

It all gets started with the bowl game Ohio State has appeared in the most, “The Grandaddy of them All,” the Rose Bowl.
