Ohio State Form
Ohio State have rebounded from the disappointing loss to Michigan with back-to-back wins to make the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs.
The Buckeyes opened the season with five straight wins, only to see their run end with a 32-31 defeat at Big Ten newcomers Oregon.
They responded with another five-game tear that included a 20-13 win over Penn State, but again failed to make it six wins in a row as they were stunned by Michigan, 13-10.
Ohio State missed out on the conference championship because of that loss, but they did not miss out on a playoff place and their response has been strong.
The Buckeyes blew out Tennessee in the first round, 42-17, before avenging their regular season defeat to Oregon with a 41-21 win over the Ducks in the Rose Bowl.
Texas Form
Texas have bounced back from their SEC Championship Game defeat with a couple of playoff wins to make it to the semi-finals.
The Longhorns kicked off their campaign with six straight wins to establish themselves as the number one team in the nation, only to surrender that spot in mid-October.
They were beaten 30-15 at home by Georgia, but responded with a run of five straight wins to set up a rematch with the Bulldogs in the conference championship.
Texas were again beaten by Georgia, this time 22-19 in overtime, but they have not lost since.
The Longhorns rebounded with a 38-24 win over Clemson in the first round of the playoffs, before battling past Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, winning 39-31 in the second overtime.
Verdict
Ohio State were downright dominant against Oregon, sending a message to the final four.
Texas, on the other hand, continue to blow hot and cold in games, and we expect the Buckeyes to punish them for that in this one.
