To find a nonconference matchup with the same weight as No. 1 Ohio State against No. 4 Texas, you'll have to go all the way back to the last time these two teams met.
OK, so that was just over a calendar year ago: Ohio State 14, Texas 7. The most vivid impact of that result on the Power Four came when the three-loss Longhorns were bypassed for an at-large College Football Playoff berth.
More than just a rematch to decide who tops the US LBM Coaches Poll, this one is guaranteed to have an impact on the Heisman Trophy, the playoff and which teams and conferences compete for the national championship.
OPINION: Biggest difference between Texas, Ohio State? One has more trophies
OPINION: Until Arch Manning beats a team like Ohio State, the questions won't stop
