I'll start from 1998 and move on to the present. It looks as if this curse happens about 70% of the time from my calculations(yeah right). Is this a percentage you want to risk your favorite team to? The next time you get happy because you are playing Ohio State because you think it will be a sure win just remember this blog.

1998

#11 West Virginia lost to OSU and went 8-4 overall with a loss in the Insight Bowl. Next season they went 4-7

#21 Missouri lost to OSU and went 8-4 overall with a win in the Insight Bowl against West Virginia(well someone had to win that bowl.) The next season they went 4-7 also.

#8 Texas A&M lost the Sugar Bowl to OSU  and has lost 6 straight bowl games since.

1999

Miami Hurricanes beat OSU and Went 9-4 with a bowl win. Looks like the curse missed this time.

UCLA lost to OSU and went 4-7 for the season.

2000

Arizona lost to OSU and went 5-6 for the season.

South Carolina beat OSU in the Outback Bowl and also beat them in the next Outback Bowl. No curse? Wait till 2001.

2001

UCLA beat OSU and went 7-4 but didn't get a bowl invite.

South Carolina beats OSU again in the Outback Bowl  but next season goes 5-7 and bowless for the next 3 years.

2002

Texas Tech lost to OSU but went 9-5 with a win in the Tangerine Bowl. Ok, they escaped the curse.

#10 Washington State lost to OSU, went 9-5 but lost in the Rose Bowl.

#1 Miami lost to OSU in the NCG and from there went into mediocrity.

2003

#17 Washington lost to OSU and ended up 6-6 with no bowl invite. Also the next season they went 1-10 and haven't had a winning season since.

#24 North Carolina State lost to OSU and went 8-4 with a win over Kansas in the Citrus Bowl(might have the wrong bowl here.) The curse misses again at least until 2004.

#10 Kansas State lost to OSU in the Fiesta Bowl and next season went 4-7.

2004

North Carolina State lost again to OSU but this year end up 5-6.

Oklahoma State lost to OSU in the Alamo Bowl and went 4-7 next season.

2005

#2 Texas beat OSU and went on to win the NCG. Wow, did the curse screw that one up.

#6 Notre Dame lost to OSU in the Fiesta Bowl, went 10-3 next season but lost again in a bowl game. Then after that they were cursed with the hiring of Charlie Weiss. Okay I threw the Charlie Weiss thing in there to see if you were actually reading this.

2006

#2 Texas lost to OSU and went 9-3 with a win in their bowl game. Damn it. It looks like Texas might have an antidote for the curse.

#2 Florida beats OSU in the NCG, went 9-4 next season but lost in the Citrus bowl to a slow Big Ten team known as Michigan.

2007

Washington lost to OSU again and ended up 4-9 for the season and we know how they are now adays.

#2 LSU beat OSU in the NCG, went 8-5 in 2008 with a bowl win but were just 3-5 in conference play.

2008

#1 USC beat OSU but lost the very next week to Oregon State and were denied a shot at the title with only 1 loss.

#18 Wisconsin lost to OSU end up losing 2 more but end the season 7-6 with a blowout loss to Florida State in their bowl game.

#20 Michigan State lost to OSU but are able to end the season 9-4 but have a very poor showing in their bowl game.

#3 Penn State beats OSU in Ohio but lose the next game to Iowa and end up not looking good in the Rose Bowl, to say the least.

#3 Texas beat OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. Will the curse take hold? Does Texas have enough antidote left to hold off the curse for a third straight time? Only time will tell.

2009

#3 USC beat OSU but lost the very next week to the Washington Huskies. Gee this seems oddly familiar.

So just remember it's not always a good thing to play the Buckeyes. Hope everyone enjoyed the read. If any of my information is off let me know so I can recheck it. I tried to slap this together as fast as I could. Peace I'm out.
