With Ohio State winning 3 national championships in 23 years, and Indiana winning its first national title ever, would the 16-0 Hoosiers topple all 3 of the OSU title winners?

The 2002 team was undefeated 14-0 and beat undefeated and defending national champion Miami, while the 2014 team won the very first 4 team CFP, besting #1 seed Alabama, and then beat Oregon 42-20 with Heisman winner Marcus Mariota. The 2024 team won the very first 12 team CFP by beating 4 opponents by an average of almost 18 points. The Hoosiers won 3 games en route to their title by an average of almost 19 points. 

My guess is that the 2024 OSU national championships would be the team that would have the best chance to beat the 2025 Hoosiers, considering that the Buckeyes completely reversed a loss to Michigan, beating Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame. Their closest game was a 34-23 win over ND in the championship game.

Which OSU team of those 3 could beat Indiana?
