C will be a successful season.
D will be a
highly successful season.
Winning 11 games in a season will be something no other Ohio teams has ever accomplished. Winning 10 games will be something that only two other Ohio teams have every done -- 1960 and 1968.
Below is a quick and dirty spreadsheet that I put together with season winning percentages. I did a quick scan of the record book and put the data into the spreadsheet. I could have made an error or two. If you find one, please let me know and I'll make the appropriate correction. This spreadsheet includes total winning percentage including any post-season play. Any season with a .700 percent winning level or better is included. Frank has yet to make the list because his 9-3 regular seasons were both follow by two post-season losses. Hopefully, this is the year that string will be broken. BTW, most of Peden's schedules included at least one opponent from a "big-time" program -- lots of games and several wins against the likes Illinois, Indiana, Purdue and similar level schools. For what it's worth, here's my table:
