📍 Where it landed
After Ohio State suffered a stunning loss to Texas, head coach Ryan Day said the team should have let the go‑ahead touchdown happen and admitted to a “obvious screw‑up,” while former coach Urban Meyer said he would not have prevented Texas from scoring. Despite the collapse, the Buckeyes remained No. 1 in the college football rankings, drawing criticism of the poll voters from commentators such as Stephen A.
Smith and Kirk Herbstreit. Coverage concluded without further updates on subsequent actions.
