Ohio State football’s all-time record vs. the Big 12 conference
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, there are teams that have gotten the best of OSU from time to time. Some of it because of the era it was 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 starting with the Big 12 because that’s the conference the dart landed on.
We’ll next move on to the ACC, Pac-12, and the SEC (yes, I know) in no particular order. Either way, we’re all about imparting the knowledge on you, so off we go with Ohio State’s fortune against every team currently in the Big 12. We’ll go in order of best record to worst.
