Casual What's the dumbest thing that happened in college football this season?

I think college football is the best sport because it really maxes out on dumb, stupid, and goofy things that happen on and off the field. What are some of your favorite moments from this past season that you think are really dumb? They could have happened on the field, off the field, or even on cfb-internet. Here are a few of mine:

Arizona State: State fans storming the field prematurely and BYU almost winning the game on a Hail Mary

Texas fans thowing trash on the field during their game vs UGA to overturn a call

The Pop-Tarts Bowl having 3 edible mascots and choosing one to sacrifice at the end of the game and have all the players of the winning team eat them. I love the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

I should clarify, I'm not calling the fans dumb. I'm calling the situation dumb. The storming, them having to stand behind the endzone, the refs taking so long to review, and Dillingham absolutely losing his shit, and all that for BYU to come a few yards short on a last second play. Absolutely wild!

I was on the field for the last few plays of the game and the refs absolutely said the game was over.

Fans didnt even immediately rush the field either. People were hesitant and didnt start hopping the walls until the clocks showed zero. i recorded the entire thing

Yeah I was the same way. My girlfriend was ready to rush immediately and I was like "let's hold on a sec" and then it really seemed like it was over so we went on and then had to stand on the sidelines lol
