Texas Stuns Ohio State with a Historic Twist No One Saw Coming

So here we go, folks: Texas starts the 2025 season perched atop the Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll, a lofty spot that’s got the betting markets scratching their heads—because oddly enough, these Longhorns are opening as underdogs against Ohio State in Columbus. Yep, you read that right. Steve Sarkisian’s squad, blessed with the preseason No. 1 ranking, faces off against Ryan Day’s Buckeyes, the reigning champs who Vegas actually favors by 2.5 points.

Mark your calendars for August 30; this one’s not just a game, it’s the opening salvo in what could be a defining season. LEARN MORE.
