Following World War II, Ohio State saw sparse success on the football field with three separate coaches and in 1951 hired Woody Hayes to coach the team. Ohio State won their first national championship in 1942 under head coach Paul Brown. The Buckeyes won two conference championships while members of the OAC and in 1912 became members of the Big Ten Conference. The team was a football independent from 1890 to 1901 before joining the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) as a charter member in 1902. The first Ohio State game was a 20–14 victory over Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, on May 3, 1890. As of 2017, the football program is valued at $1.5 - 2 billion, the highest valuation of any such program in the country. Seven players have received the Heisman Trophy (second all-time).
The Buckeyes are recognized by the university and NCAA as having won eight national championships (including six wire-service: AP or Coaches) along with 41 conference championships (including 39 Big Ten titles), 10 division championships, 10 undefeated seasons, and six perfect seasons (no losses or ties). Ohio State has played their home games at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio since 1922. The Ohio State Buckeyes football team competes as part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing Ohio State University in the East Division of the Big Ten Conference.
