Overview

• Preliminary Nielsen data show the episode averaged 3.5 million viewers with a 5.1 million peak in the final quarter-hour, the most-watched ‘GameDay’ ever.
• At age 90, Corso finished 6-for-6 on his weekend selections, highlighted by calling unranked Florida State over No. 8 Alabama.
• A viral Community Note on X echoed his catchphrase “not so fast, my friend” in response to a post mocking his Florida State pick.
• His final headgear choice returned to Brutus Buckeye, the tradition he launched in 1996, marking the 46th time he wore the Ohio State mascot head.
• Ohio State presented Corso with a vintage Brutus head on the field as a send-off, and ‘GameDay’ now heads to Norman for its first show without him.
