The No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 5 Texas Longhorns will face off in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff (CFP). The matchup will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday, January 10, and is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.

Ohio State is 12-2 overall and coming off back-to-back CFP wins. First, the Buckeyes had a commanding 42-17 win over the Tennessee Vols in the first round, followed by a second commanding 41-21 win over the Oregon Ducks.

Texas is 13-2 and also coming off back-to-back wins over the Clemson Tigers and Arizona State Sun Devils. The Longhorns win over the Sun Devils was much closer, going to double overtime after a controversial non-targeting call that could have given the Sun Devils a chance to win the game before overtime. The Longhorns are the last SEC team left in the CFP bracket, another point of contention for fans of the major conference who have so far hated the new 12-team playoff format.
