The Ohio State University is in the Big 10 Conference.
Ohio state didn't play in the national championship! Oklahoma and Florida did
Oregon 1st runner up was Ohio state
USC is clearly better. If you don't believe me look at the all-time record. USC leads the series 13-9-1

As of the 2008 Tournament, Ohio State has been in the Division I basketball championship game five times: 1939 - Oregon 46, Ohio State 33 1960 - Ohio State 75, California 55 1961 - Cincinnati 70, Ohio State 65 1962 - Cincinnati 71, Ohio State 59 2007 - Florida 84, Ohio State 75
Probably Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, North Carolina, or Notre Dame.
Florida.But if Florida beats Ohio State in the BCS championship game, then they would be the first.
Every year the Rose Bowl game is played between the number 1 team in the Pac 10 conference and the number 1 team in the Big 10. If the number 1 team in either conference is chosen to go to the National Championship then the number2 team in that conference goes to the Rose Bowl....EXAMPLE : Big 10 conference standing,,,,,1. Ohio State 2. Michigan. 3. Michigan State 4. Penn State 5. Iowa 6. Purdue 7. Northwestern 8. Indiana 9. Minnesota 10. Wisconsin 11. Illinois...In a normal situation Ohio State would go to the Rose Bowl, but suppose that Ohio State was chosen to go to the National Championship, then Michigan would be the team from the Big 10 to go to the Rose Bowl to play the winner of the Pac 10 conference unless the winner in that was also chosen to go to the National Championship, then the number 2 would go.
Ohio State defeated Miami 31 to 24 in two overtimes.
