Editing Running up the score (section)

====Ohio State====
In 1968, the [[1968 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|Ohio State Buckeyes]], en route to a national championship, defeated their bitter rival, the [[1968 Michigan Wolverines football team|Michigan Wolverines]], 50–14. Late in the game, Ohio State held a commanding 44–14 advantage and scored one final touchdown. Rather than taking the more common [[extra point]] kick, Ohio State head coach [[Woody Hayes]] opted for a [[two-point conversion]], which was unsuccessful. When asked later why he went for two points, Hayes said, "Because I couldn't go for three!", though players have commented that there was some sort of confusion on the extra point kick, and Hayes was just covering for his players. The following season, the heavily favored [[1969 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|Buckeyes]] [[1969 Ohio State vs. Michigan football game|fell]] to the [[1969 Michigan Wolverines football team|Wolverines]], with [[Bo Schembechler]] using the 50–14 blowout as a motivation.

Head coach [[Urban Meyer]]'s [[2014 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|2014 Ohio State team]] defeated [[2014 Wisconsin Badgers football team|Wisconsin]] 59–0 in the [[2014 Big Ten Football Championship Game|Big Ten championship game]]. Meyer later said that he intentionally ran up the score against Wisconsin to help his team be chosen for the [[College Football Playoff]], which they eventually won the National Championship.<ref name="cfbonfox20191020">{{Cite tweet |number=1186009943897456640 |user=CFBONFOX |title="When I hear someone say, 'look test' or 'I think,' that's not fair." @CoachUrbanMeyer addresses the CFP's selection criteria and breaks down how he would change the system. |date=2019-10-20}}</ref>
