The Ohio State Buckeyes are on the cusp of playing for the College Football Playoff national championship, and what a journey it’s been for them! Entering as the No. 8 seed, they’ve already dispatched No. 9 seed Tennessee and pulled off a stunning upset against No. 1 seed Oregon. Clearly, whatever happened during that tough regular-season loss to Michigan is in the rearview mirror; this is a different Ohio State team with some serious momentum.
All eyes are now on Coach Ryan Day and his squad as they prepare to clash with No. 5 seed Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinals. The game is set to take place at the iconic Cotton Bowl, a venue steeped in college football history and sure to be buzzing come Friday night.
But it’s not just the on-field action that’s capturing everyone’s attention. Off the field, Ohio State cheerleader Cali Mitchey is making waves—literally and figuratively. With over 3,000 Instagram followers, she’s built quite a social media presence, sharing an array of cheerleading content alongside glimpses of her life in the offseason. One particular swimsuit photo has caught the eyes of many this year, further elevating her public profile. It’s all part of the vibrant spirit surrounding this Ohio State squad as they march into their high-stakes showdown.
Ohio State’s matchup against Texas is effectively an away game, given its location in Dallas, the heart of Longhorn country. It promises to be a test of grit and endurance for the Buckeyes as they go toe-to-toe with Texas, backed by their roaring fanbase. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and you can bet it will be an electric atmosphere as both teams vie for a chance to move one step closer to glory.
