This is a 10* CFP SEMI-FINAL GOY on Texas.

With nearly 75% of the early public money on the favorite, this is for sure a big time contrarian play.

Ohio State smashed Oregon 41-21 in the Quarter Final, while Texas recovered and hung on for the 39-31 double OT victory over Arizona State.

It was an all around dominant effort no doubt in Ohio State's win over the Ducks with Will Howard throwing for three TD's.

But Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns will be playing with a collective chip on their shoulders here after the near "brain fart" last time out. Ewers though still finished with 322 passing yards and three TD's.

Ewers has extra-incentive as well to beat OSU after transferring from there in 2021. The Longhorns will also enjoy a significant "home field" advantage with this being played at Cowboy Stadium.

I'm not ruling out an outright upset, but the official call is to grab as many points as you can with the LONGHORNS.

Good luck, NP
