The Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes will meet in the Cotton Bowl game to determine who will move on to play for a national title.

Both teams have already won two games in the inaugural 12-team College Football playoff, hoping to find two more victories to bring home a championship. Texas beat Clemson, the No. 12 seed and ACC Champion, in the opening round. The Longhorns went on the beat Arizona State in a double-overtime thriller during their quarterfinal game at the Peach Bowl.

Ohio State opened the CFP with a win at home over No. 9 seed Tennessee. The Buckeyes then got by the No. 1 seed and Big 10 champion Oregon in their quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl.

Now, Ohio State and Texas meet at AT&T Stadium in a must-see semifinal matchup. The Longhorns have a quicker trip, but the Buckeye-faithful will surely make the trip down to Texas, too.

The No. 8-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 5-seeded Texas Longhorns kick off in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Friday, Jan. 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Here's how much it costs to attend the game to watch the two college football blue bloods play in the Cotton Bowl:
