Beating Michigan en route to a national title wasn't good enough for Ohio State. The Buckeyes wanted to take another jab at the Wolverines when creating the base for the trophy from the first College Football Playoff.
The base for the trophy at OSU's football facilities has Ohio State's 2014 schedule on it. Instead of "Michigan" as the last game of the season, "TUN" is inscripted instead. TUN stands for Team Up North. Here's the photo proof.

Team Up North is of course what Ohio State fans typically call Michigan in lieu of using the state's name. But as Cleveland.com points out, the ban on the word Michigan doesn't apply across the board. Michigan State got its full name on the trophy.
The base of the trophy was unveiled as part of the remodeled trophy lobby at the facilities. The team's eight national titles and seven Heisman winners are all recognized in the area.
Michigan, it's now your move. Go win a title and ignore Ohio State.
