Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. 
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Time~Pink Floyd

Every time I compare stats for a ten year period Pink Floyd's Time always comes to mind. Today is no different. Many things have changed at Ohio State in the past decade, but the winning has remained the same.

Below you will see how well Ohio State did under the leadership of Jim Tressel (six years), Luke Fickell (1 year) and  Urban Meyer (three years).

THREE THINGS WINNING PERCENTAGE 2005-2014

  1. Ohio State has the highest winning percentage among Power Five Conference teams the last ten years. 
  2. 9 of the 14 B1G teams have a winning record over the last decade.
  3. That Team ranks 7th among the 14 B1G teams.

 

WINNING PERCENTAGE OF TEAM IN B1G BETWEEN 2005-2014
RANK TEAM WINNING %
1 OHIO STATE .840*
2 WISCONSIN .737
3 PENN STATE .696
4 NEBRASKA .667
5 MICHIGAN STATE .651
     
6 RUTGERS .620
7 THAT TEAM .579
8 IOWA .575
9 NORTHWESTERN .536
10 MARYLAND .472
     
11 MINNESOTA .437
12 PURDUE .411
13 ILLINOIS .382
14 INDIANA .324
     
  B1G AVERAGE .565

*Ohio State's 12 vacated wins are included in the winning percentage above. NCAA violations be damned.
The Buckeyes have a .824 winning percentage if wins are omitted. Still best among P5 teams.

 

Anthony Gonzalez

Anthony Gonzalez's catch in 2005 started a decade of Ohio State dominance.

 

THREE THINGS WINS AND LOSSES OVER THE LAST DECADE

  1. When Ohio State's vacated wins are counted the Buckeyes lead all Power Five Conference teams with 110 victories.
  2. The Buckeyes have at least double the amount of wins of four B1G teams over the last ten years.
  3. Football played in states that start with "I" is bad.

 

THE WINS AND LOSSES OVER THE LAST DECADE

The Buckeyes have 98 victories if the 12 wins from 2010 are omitted.
