Friday night's College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl between Ohio State and Texas is expected to be played as scheduled despite the impending snowstorm that will impact the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Texas is coming off a 39-31 double-overtime win in the Peach Bowl against the Arizona State Sun Devils. They also defeated the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the playoffs. Meanwhile, Ohio State has looked like the best team in the CFP through two rounds, beating the Tennessee Volunteers 44-17 and the Oregon Ducks 41-21 in the Rose Bowl.
