2024 season was the first time since 2014 that Ohio State lost to an unranked team at home.

First time since 2014 that Ohio State returned a punt for a TD (coincidentally both against Indiana at home the second to last week of the regular season)

Both teams beat Oregon by very similar margins(41-21) (42-20)

Both teams beat Penn State by 7 @ Happy Valley

And obviously both are national championship seasons.

Obviously there's also some glaring differences but the parallels are intriguing.
