OSU just opened as a 4.5 point favorite. The talking heads at ESPN were talking before the Rose Bowl (RB). They said whoever wins the RB will be the underdog to Texas, since the game is in Dallas. Obviously they hitched their cart to the wrong horse, as OSU opens as a solid favorite, despite being on the road.

I hope since this is the University of Texas, and not a traditional SEC team, and they have been humbled with the bowl games so far, that we don't get the trash talking SEC fans on our social media boards. The two weeks before the TN game were hard to take.
How do you see the Cotton Bowl playing out?
