The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will begin their request to repeat as national champions when they host the No. 1 Texas Longhorns on Saturday. This is just the second matchup in AP history pitting top-3 ranked teams against one another in a season opener. Ohio State defeated Texas, 28-14, in last season's CFP semifinals to even the all-time series between the programs 2-2. Texas now has a new starting quarterback in Arch Manning , who is the Heisman betting favorite but will be making his first career collegiate road start.
Kickoff is at noon ET at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes are 1.5-point favorites in the latest Texas vs. Ohio State odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 47.5. Before making any Ohio State vs. Texas picks, be sure to see what SportsLi
