18 Dec
Summary
- Ohio State aims for a second consecutive national championship.
- The Buckeyes await the winner of Texas A&M vs. Miami.
- Cotton Bowl matchup is set for late December/early January.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are on track for a potential second consecutive national championship, a historic first for the school. Currently holding the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff, they will compete in the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Their path to the quarterfinals depends on the outcome of the first-round game between Texas A&M and Miami, scheduled for December 20th.
The Buckeyes are set to face the victor of the Texas A&M (No. 7 seed) and Miami (No. 10 seed) matchup. Texas A&M, despite a strong season, missed the SEC championship game due to a loss, while Miami is the sole ACC representative. The Cotton Bowl quarterfinals are slated for December 31st and January 1st.
Ohio State's defense is a key strength, particularly against the pass, which could challenge either potential opponent. The Buckeyes' offensive capabilities, bolstered by healthy receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, will be crucial. Fans eagerly anticipate learning their opponent to finalize the championship pursuit.
