Ohio State Looks to Extend Winning Streak as Miami Returns to Texas for Bidding Chance at CFP Glory

The Buckeyes, who have been a dominant force in the postseason under head coach Ryan Day, are seeking their third Cotton Bowl title in five years. With a 12-1 record, they appear poised to make another deep run into January. Ohio State’s path to the championship game will likely involve a showdown against top-ranked Alabama in the CFP semifinals. However, for now, the focus is on dispatching Miami and making their own case as a top contender. The Hurricanes, led by head coach Mike Harrell, are looking to make a statement in their return to Texas after falling short in their inaugural College Football Playoff debut last season. A victory over Ohio State would be a significant boost to their playoff aspirations. The matchup promises to be an exciting one, pitting the Buckeyes’ high-powered offense against Miami’s stingy defense. With both teams boasting top-ranked units, it’s likely to be a battle for the ages.
