In this story:

The Texas Longhorns and the Arizona State Sun Devils have only faced each other once in program history.

In 2007, the Longhorns traveled to Arizona to defeat the hosts 52-34. Since then, the two programs haven't met. Now, everything is at stake.

As Texas left the Big 12 Conference after clinching its last championship, the Sun Devils took over. Arizona State dominated with only two losses and won the conference title over Iowa State in its first year. The win earned them the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, with Texas at No. 5.

The Peach Bowl game on New Year's Day will decide who will go through to the semifinals and face the winner of the Oregon vs. Ohio State matchup. The winner will be one step closer to a national championship.

The Longhorns are the favorites to win this clash with betting odds swaying in its favor, but a strong and rested team like Arizona State will be ready to keep a historic season going.

It will be the 2023 Big 12 champions facing the 2024 winners. But the two teams missed each other in the conference by a year.
