6. Ohio State

As someone who lives in Big Ten country, I encounter plenty of Ohio State fans and I can easily say that they truly don’t know how to handle losing.

Why can’t they handle losing? They’re simply not used to it.

Before the last two seasons, Ohio State fans were in full troll mode when it came to Michigan because the Wolverines could never beat them. They had field days each year making fun of Jim Harbaugh and Michigan for losing yet again, but those days are long in the past.

Ohio State fans now have to deal with a flipped script with Michigan winning two straight games and I can say that they aren’t handling it well and they might be the most hungry fanbase in the country for success at this current moment. They’re foaming at the mouth just to see the Buckeyes win The Game and another national title.

Ohio State fans may be pretty spoiled, but they’re always talking up their team and they’re always just talking — period.

You’ll hear an Ohio State fan coming from miles away. And playing in The Shoe is just a death sentence for visiting teams.
