I have a lot of OSU fans as friends (because I lived up there a long time) and they view a 2 loss season as a down year. They are an ugly 10-1 right now, but that is still 10-1 obviously and they have a decent shot at Michigan (which would make their season).

I don't view any year with an SEC ring as a down year ( last year), but I suspect Dawg fans are going to get spoiled soon, if not already.
