1973 Ohio State

So you've seen all the categories and if you've been paying attention you might have noticed that one school in particular scored high in at least eight of the 10 categories. Funny thing was, Ohio State didn't place first in any individual category, but finished No. 1 overall.

Considering how consistent the Buckeyes have been of late, it makes sense.
