Turns out, not many: just us and Indiana have lost 12 or more straight. Indiana is the clear conference leader though with 26 straight losses.

Current conference losing streaks against Ohio State:

Illinois (9 games)
Iowa (0 games; Iowa won last meeting in 2017)
Michigan (8 games)
Michigan State (5 games)
Northwestern (9 games)
Penn State (4 games)
Purdue (0 games; won last meeting in 2018 and has won 4 of the last 9)
Wisconsin (8 games)

The following conference teams haven’t played Ohio State 12 times (certainly may get to 12 straight losses with time):
Maryland (0-6 all time)
Nebraska (1-8 all time)
Rutgers (0-7 all time)

The big surprise here is Purdue, a team the Gophers have been pretty successful against recently, going 4-5 in the last nine.

Several teams in the Big Ten got a free kick at Ohio State’s head in 2011, while they were down from the tatoo-gate fallout. Throw-out that weird season and Michigan’s losing streak would be 15; and Nebraska would be 0-8 all time.

Minnesota has played Ohio State a lot for always being in opposite divisions and never having played in a CCG.

Ohio States history with Purdue is very strange.
 


Absurd that Iowa hasn't played them since 2017. Since 2014 the Gophers have played Ohio State 4 F'in times and Iowa has only once.

Yeah, the luck of the draw with Eastern Division teams certainly has something to do with these records. Michigan's 15 straight losses (if not for the 2011 OSU team) really is striking. How things have changed. I remember as a teenager growing up in eastern US in the seventies, I wasn't that much into college football and even less into the Big Ten at the time. But, even I knew then that the Michigan-Ohio State game was one of the biggest and most anticipated games in the nation. Now, Michigan is just another annually vanquished OSU opponent.

We NEVER play Indiana.

If they stay good they'll get back on the schedule.

We've only played Michigan State once since the divisions were changed. Supposed to play them last year but didn't.
 




Wow, 8 straight losses for Michigan. That's gotta hurt.
 

Sounds like Purdue's history with OSU is like Wisconsin with Northwestern...doesn't matter how bad Purdue or Northwestern is, they always seem to give OSU or Wisconsin trouble respectively
