The second College Football Playoff semifinal on New Year’s Day will be hosted at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans as No. 2 Washington and No. 3 Texas clash Monday in the Big Easy. There will be major changes to the college football landscape in 2024, and both the Longhorns and Huskies have a chance to etch their legacy as they prepare to enter their new conferences.
Each program boasts a proud tradition, including national titles, but neither has ever won a CFP game. (Texas has never even made the field.) In the final year before the playoff expands to 12 teams, both schools have fielded teams with an aura of destiny that now stand just two victories away from the mountaintop. Texas ended Alabama’s 43-game winning streak in nonconference home games earlier this season, and then marched to its first Big 12 title since 2009 in its final year as a conference member before it joins the SEC in 2024.
Washington reached 13 victories for the first time in program history while winning a bitterly competitive Pac-12 in the final season before the league splinters apart. The Big Ten-bound Huskies have won 20 straight games under second-year coach Kalen DeBoer with star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. leading the way.
Three of the five all-time meetings between these schools have come in bowl games, all of which were decided by seven points or less. Considering what we saw from them this season, it would be no surprise if the Huskies and Longhorns play a classic.
Follow along with LIVE UPDATES as Texas battles Washington in the Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal.
