I mean they have consistently been in the playoffs and lost to some pretty amazing teams. If not for a **** no-targeting call in the UGA game, they would have won that game and denied UGA a 2nd straight title.
Honestly, I feel like this year's team (and last year's team) were the two weakest overall rosters OSU has had since Ryan took over. Not that they were bad rosters in any way. But the rosters from 2019-2022 were freaking loaded with NFL talent to go along with elite QB play from Fields and Stroud.
