OSU-Texas

I would be surprised if this were not a good game. There is a lot of recency bias love for OSU but they have been a little inconsistent. Not just the Michigan loss but Oregon loss and Nebraska win (and even Penn State win) not juggernaut quality. Don't get me wrong, they are deservedly the favorites, but playing a very good Texas team, in the Cotton Bowl, that is being overlooked while a sporadically inconsistent OSU is collecting bouquets is a recipe for a good one.
How the heck are the being in the Cotton Bowl? Why not put them in the other bowl, our bowl, and we'll switch. More SEC bias...
It’s Texas historic bowl tie in. Them being the higher seed means they get it. The orange bowl is historically tied with the B1G and ND.
No deep analysis from me, but I'm guessing the ACC crew will have reflexive bias vs the SEC. Even newcomers and upstart Texas.
I also think Ohio State is actually a team that stands out from any other pack. Didn't think so before the playoffs. But I see Day learned his lesson vs MI and has them playing to considerable potential.
The Buckeyes sure look like the nth evolution of a college football team. It's been but 2 games, but they looked better than any team I've ever seen. Better than Carroll's Trojans or Saban's Alabama. We will see if they can maintain it consistently, starting with Texas.
I fancy ND being built to be the 1 team that can upset the Buckeyes if our Irish get past PSU. Defense can win championships. ND would have a reasonable underdog shot to stymie the Ohio State offense.
ND has a history of big game wins against more favored opponents...long ago...but perhaps the once and future champion of college football is awakening the echoes.
🔥
Fingers crossed.

Playoff games have been impressive for OSU. They do seem the hottest team now. But we shall see.
Texas has a lot of talent. It almost feels like they are underperforming. The game will be close.
