1 Texas Longhorns Vs 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (-3)
We’re getting a dream matchup right out of the gate as the # 1 Longhorns travel to take on the defending champions at the Horseshoe. The Arch Manning area begins as Texas is out for revenge after last season’s tough College Football Playoff semifinal loss, while the Buckeyes aim to ride last year’s momentum into another title run. A ton of unknown in this matchup on both sides. Brian Hartline has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters at the wide receiver position for Ohio State, but this will be our first true look at him calling plays as the offensive coordinator paired with highly touted quarterback Julian Sayin. Look for the defenses to reign supreme in this one, with the turnover battle likely deciding the outcome. In the end, Michael Taaffe comes up with a huge turnover for the Longhorns, helping Texas secure a statement win.
