Ryan Day isn't known for his flair. The Ohio State coach could double nicely as a mattress salesman, local TV ads and all that. He'd blend into the background. That's why it hurts

Ohio State's run in the College Football Playoff is filled with meaningful storylines for coach Ryan Day — highlighted by a return to the Cotton Bowl.

Ohio State has reached the Final Four. The Buckeyes, the No. 8 seed in the first 12-team College Football Playoff, will head to the Cotton Bowl for a Jan. 10 game with No. 5 Texas.

The Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns battle it out on January 10th in the Cotton Bowl, the semi-finals of the College Football Playoff (CFP). Ohio State has a major chip on its shoulder. The Buckeyes missed the Big Ten Championship after losing to Michigan in the final regular season game of the year.

Ohio State is the clear national title favorite after the way that they have dominated through the first two rounds. The Buckeyes easily handled Tennessee at home in round one, and then they dismantled one seed Oregon in the Rose Bowl last week.
