If Ohio State scheduled Akron instead of Texas, they’d be ranked 4th right now…
Right above Indiana.
Instead, they went to Texas at night and lost by 1 point… and are ranked 12th.
Truly insane.

Earth is one planet orbiting one star in a galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars. And our Milky Way is only one of an enormous number of galaxies throughout the observable universe.
Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains roughly 100–400 billion stars. Many of these stars have planetary systems, and observations suggest that planets are extremely common throughout our galaxy.
NASA’s Kepler mission demonstrated that there are likely more planets than stars in the Milky Way. This means our galaxy alone could contain hundreds of billions of planets, with some estimates suggesting substantially higher numbers.
Our Sun is located approximately 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way, in a smaller spiral structure called the Orion Arm.
The Milky Way itself stretches roughly 100,000 light-years across. Even light, traveling at nearly 300,000 kilometers per second, would take about 100,000 years to cross it.
Beyond our galaxy, the observable universe contains an extraordinary number of other galaxies.
A 2016 study estimated that approximately 2 trillion galaxies could exist within the observable universe, including many too faint or distant for telescopes available at the time to detect individually.
However, this figure is a model-based estimate rather than an exact count. More recent observations and research continue to refine our understanding of galaxy populations.
Each galaxy may contain millions, billions, or even trillions of stars, many potentially surrounded by planets.
Despite discovering thousands of exoplanets, scientists have not yet confirmed life beyond Earth.
The scale of the universe is supported by astronomical observations, but the exact numbers of stars, planets, and galaxies remain subjects of ongoing research.
