- What was the coldest Ohio home game since 2006?
- Nov. 18, 2014: Northern Illinois 21, Ohio 14, at Peden Stadium, at 21°F.
- What was the hottest Ohio home game since 2006?

- What is the Ohio home record at 32°F or colder since 2006?

Kickoff temperatures come from NOAA airport weather records (GHCNh): the reading nearest kickoff, within an hour, at one fixed airport for each stadium. Game data provided by CollegeFootballData.com. Games at dome and retractable-roof stadiums are shown but left out of every record and list, whatever the roof position. A temperature with no second reading within 2°F to check it is marked “Single reading”, and a game whose stadium no official source confirms is marked and left out of the lists. Home records count every home game with a kickoff temperature, including games that cannot appear in the lists. When games tie at the end of a list, the line under it counts the rest.
