NCAA COTTON BOWL
January 11@1 h 30 min - 5 h 00 min
The Cotton Bowl will serve as a College Football Playoff semifinal with high stakes for the Ohio State Buckeyes (12-2, 7-2 Big Ten) and Texas Longhorns (13-2, 7-1 SEC). Friday’s kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The two teams have met just three times in history, as the Longhorns hold a 2-1 advantage dating back to the last matchup at the 2008 Fiesta Bowl.
A win here will create an opportunity to win another National Championship. Texas has won 9 previous national titles with the last coming in 2005, while Ohio State is seeking its 9th after last winning the 1st College Football Playoff in 2014.
