Take away our five losses to Columbus over the last two decades, and we are 4-4 against the remainder of the Big Ten. My guess is that if UC was in the Big Ten, we’d be .500 or better in conference games most years.

Outside of Michigan and Penn State, the rest of the B10 has been completely dominated historically by OSU. Even with Michigan, the majority of their 59 wins over the Buckeyes came prior to 1951*.

Indiana 77-12-5
Purdue 40-15-2
Illinois 68-30-4
Northwestern 64-14-1
Wisconsin 61-18-5
Minnesota 56-7
Iowa 46-15-3
Michigan State 35-15
Michigan 51-59-6 *
Penn State 22-14
Nebraska 9-1

I didn't look up Rutgers and Maryland but we all know the answer to those matchups. UC would be fine in the B10 against the rest of the field.
