Texas' stunning comeback win over Ohio State was everything college football should be — and it could soon be a thing of the past
Even in Week 2 of the season, every moment of Texas-Ohio State felt like a national championship was potentially on the line. But pro-expansion college football leaders are trying to rob everyone of these kind of moments.
Austin, Texas - In a stunning comeback victory over Ohio State, Texas emerged as a shining example of what college football should be, a thrilling contest with high stakes and intense emotions. The game, played before a raucous crowd at Texas Memorial Stadium, saw the Longhorns defy 23-3 deficits and overcome a dominant third quarter to claim a 24-23 win in the final moments.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian praised his team's resilience and fielded questions about the implications of their victory, but cautioned that the impact of one game remains uncertain, especially in a playoff-driven era. While the win undoubtedly boosts Texas's chances of reaching the College Football Playoff, it also raises questions about the value of such games in a 24-team playoff world where the stakes are diminished.
The win underscored the importance of high-stakes contests and the unique intensity of college football, which cannot be replicated by a simplified playoff format.
