It seems implausible that the Ohio State would forget the last "O" in Ohio, or arrange their flag runner people out of order, but this is still pretty funny. It's like a running meme, right there at the beginning of the College Football Playoff Championship. Several people noticed in the crowd, including the Instagram user who filmed this video. The best part is someone (maybe the videographer?) asking "where's the 'O'?"

From the sound of it, this was not a brain fart, but just an unfortunate accident. The "O" flag bearer might have gotten caught underneath some anxious Buckeyes and never made it out of the tunnel.
First snafu for Ohio State. One of the O-H-I-O flags did not successfully make it out of the tunnel and onto the field. Oops.
