They have never won a National Championship when they were the preseason #1.
No one who has been the #1 team in the pre season AP pole has went on to win it all, but there is a first time for everything. Just like if I am not mistaken OSU is the first team to ever be the unanimous pre season #1, meaning that every voter in the AP pole voted them at the top.
The reason for this is simple, nearly every key player from last year's team is returning and has that much more experience. It is very rare for a college team with the success OSU had to return as many starters as they are.
