I should update the OP so here goes:
In the 102 years that Ohio State and Michigan have both been in the conference (1917-2018) they are now tied for first with 36 titles each. They each have three times as many as third place Illinois. Ohio State's and Michigan's 72 titles over the past 102 seasons is just one less than the combined titles won by the other 13 schools that have played in this league during that time.
Michigan's lead in all-time titles is down to five at 42-37 over Ohio State. Their lead has not been that small since prior to the 1972 season when they led Minnesota 23-18.
The last 26 years have been amazing for my Buckeyes. Cooper's last eight years (1993-2000), Tressel's 10 years (2001-2010), Fickell's year (2011), and Meyer's seven years (2012-2018) have seen 12 league titles, two NC's and numerous great seasons. Over those 26 years the Buckeyes have the best winning percentage in CFB (by far), the most wins in CFB (again by far), etc.
I was an Ohio State fan prior to 1993, but I started at Ohio State as a freshman in the fall of 1993. Being a fan of this program has been a great ride for the last 26 years and I hope it continues under Coach Day. Other teams have won more NC's and had higher highs over the past 26 years but no team has even been in Ohio State's universe in consistency. Nebraska was phenomenal with their three NC's in four years from 1994-1997 and obviously Bama has been the team to beat for the last decade but both of those teams had bad times to go with the good. In the last 26 years Ohio State had one three-year lull (1999-2001) in which they were a pedestrian 21-15 but even that was punctuated by a near NC in 1998 and an actual NC in 2002. Outside of that, the Buckeyes haven't had consecutive seasons of single-digit wins since I was in High School.
