REC - this is a calculation that gives more weight to results later in the season. This season it was based off of the EFF metric.
OOC - a team's non-conference strength of schedule.
This might not even be the best OSU team of the last five years. 2016 also featured a team that was ranked #1 regardless of calculation, but against the third-hardest schedule in that season. They then proceeded to get shut out by Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl so...
Florida International and Liberty would be the lowest ranked teams to ever make a bowl using the classic PRI metric.
