January 8, 2025 - Texas takes on Ohio State

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns come back to friendlier confines to take on the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes -- who come into the game as favorites. The Longhorns survived the last round of the playoffs, while Ohio State has been on a tear, winning their first two games by a combined score of 83-38. The most-talented team in the country, according the 247Sports Blue Chip Ratio, the Buckeyes are living up to the billing. Can the Texas defense shut down one of the most dangerous offenses in the country or will Quinn Ewers and the Texas offense need to play their best game of the year?
