Ryan is rank 1 on the X board dated 2026-09-13T06:01:34.180732 after No. 4 Texas beat No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 on Saturday night in Austin. Ohio State led 23-3 entering the fourth quarter; Texas scored 21 unanswered. The rest of the list is the same game: Ohio State, Texas, Arch, Sark, #HookEm, Jeremiah Smith, Holly Rowe, Arthur Smith, Buckeyes. Full turnover versus September 12 (Durk, Bazardo, Brian Steele, Mizzou, #SmackDown).
Top trending topics on X: September 13
Ryan: Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, whose Buckeyes fell to 1-1. After the loss he said the staff talked about letting Texas score late, then chose to play defense on second down; the stop did not hold. Next game: Kent State, Saturday, September 19, noon ET.
Ohio State: The visiting No. 1 team, 1-1 after blowing a 20-point lead at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Box score: Ohio State 10-10-3-0, Texas 0-3-0-21. Connor Hawkins missed a 45-yard field goal at 4:16 of the fourth.
Texas: The No. 4 Longhorns, now 2-0. Hollywood Smothers ran 21 times for 74 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the winner with 25 seconds left. Arch Manning converted fourth downs in the rally.
Arch: Texas quarterback Arch Manning. NBC Sports described fourth-down conversions that flipped a 23-3 deficit. He finished with 8 rushes for 24 net yards in the official box.
Sark: Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. On the ABC postgame he talked over Holly Rowe, said "That's called Texas fight" and "Hook 'em," then walked off. ESPN's Laura Rutledge had already explained a halftime technical delay that left him waiting.
#HookEm: The Longhorns slogan Sarkisian threw to camera. New hashtag versus yesterday's #SmackDown and #AAATriplemania.
Jeremiah Smith: Ohio State receiver, 8 catches, 164 yards, 1 touchdown. Most of that production came before the fourth quarter; he is the one Buckeye whose night still reads as a win in local recaps.
Holly Rowe: ESPN sideline reporter whose postgame interview with Sarkisian lasted a few seconds. Clips of the walk-off circulated overnight and put her name on the board independently of the score.
Arthur Smith: Ohio State offensive coordinator, in his first season calling plays after NFL stops with the Titans, Falcons, and Steelers. Recaps blamed fourth-quarter play-calling, including too few targets for Jeremiah Smith when the lead vanished.
Buckeyes: Ohio State's nickname, closing a 10-item board that never leaves the same Saturday night. Rank 10 is the fan-search leftover after Ryan and Ohio State took 1 and 2.

What changed on X since yesterday
- New: all 10 names. None of Friday's Durk, Bazardo, Brian Steele, Mizzou, #SmackDown, Sami, Kansas, Ben Shelton, gaga, or #AAATriplemania remain.
- The September 12 board was music, baseball, and wrestling. This one is a single college football game.
What today's X topics reveal
X treated Saturday night as a closed system. Nine tokens point at one score (24-23) and one stadium. The tenth, Buckeyes, is the same franchise. There is no leftover from Lil Durk's Friday verdict or the U.S. Open, which still dominate Google and Wikipedia.
The split inside the list is blame versus celebration. Ryan, Arthur Smith, and Holly Rowe are the postgame argument. Arch, Sark, #HookEm, and Texas are the comeback. Jeremiah Smith is the player who produced anyway. That is a sports-radio board, not a mixed news board.
