What's this?

Yeah, they should certainly do a bit more, but Ohio State is an 800#

gorilla in the room. Since 2004, they've won more games than anyone in college football by several games (including the 12 wins in 2010). Texas is much the same way. Take away the Mack Brown years, and they've not accomplished anything on the national scale for decades. They played 2nd fiddle to OU, even when they weren't in the same conference.
