Looking at Ohio State's "body of work", it is pretty pitiful.  Their best win is probably 7-3 Penn State; their second best win might be 6-3 NIU and Western Michigan.  Other games they've played:

4-5 Virginia Tech
2-8 Hawaii*
4-5 Indiana
2-7 Maryland*
3-6 Rutgers
4-5 Minnesota

In other words, they have exactly 1 win over a power-5 team with a winning record.  They're the only Sagarin top-10 team that has not faced a top-30 team. The good news is that after Illinois, they face Michigan State and Michigan and likely Iowa, to close out the season, so they will have three more wins (possibly four if Illinois wins their last two) over Power-5 teams with winning records. 

But their "body of work" is a joke.

I was just talking with a longtime fan of Michigan who tends to glass-half-empty feelings toward his UM alma mater.  He is 100% convinced that UM will beat tOSU at the Big House in a few weeks.  He thinks tOSU is the most overrated team in the country.
