Ohio State Football Conference Championships: Complete History
Ohio State has 39 Big Ten championships, second only to Michigan. Every title by year and coach, Woody Hayes’s record 13, and why the 2010 title no longer counts.

Ohio State claims nine national titles, from Paul Brown in 1942 to Ryan Day in 2024. Every championship season, the seven unclaimed years, and the 1961 team that was denied a bowl by its own faculty.
Ohio State is 990 wins, 337 losses and 53 ties all time, ten wins from becoming the second program in history to reach 1,000. The record, the percentage, and how it compares.
Ohio Stadium holds 102,780 and has drawn over 110,000. The capacity history since 1922, the record crowd against Michigan, and why the Horseshoe deliberately got smaller.
Every Ohio State head coach since 1890 with their record. Woody Hayes won the most games, Ryan Day wins at the highest rate, and the program has had only nine coaches in the past 75 years.
Ohio State has won seven Heismans with six players, including Archie Griffin, the only two time winner ever. Every winner, the seasons, and the finalists who came close.
Three Michigan players have won the Heisman: Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson. Their seasons, the nine other Wolverines who finished in the top four, and why the total is so low for a program this size.
Joe Paterno has the most wins of any college football coach with 409. The all time top 20, the reason different sources disagree on the totals, and the active leader.
Every Ohio State bowl game with scores, from the 1921 Rose Bowl through the 2025 playoff. Seventeen Rose Bowls, the Woody Hayes punch, and a record against the SEC that explains a lot.
Every Penn State bowl game with scores, from the 1923 Rose Bowl through the 2025 Pinstripe Bowl. Joe Paterno’s record 24 wins and the Fiesta Bowl streak nobody has matched.
