Fans traveling to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl could be met with winter weather.

After a cold front entered the Dallas area on Sunday, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth expects the trend to continue late into the week. On Thursday and Friday, high temperatures will be around 35 degrees and lows around 26 degrees. Meteorologists have also called for measurable snow to fall late Wednesday and into Friday.

With the College Football Playoff semifinal between Ohio State and Texas scheduled to occur at 6:30 p.m. CST at AT&T Stadium, the Cotton Bowl stated Monday that officials will monitor weather conditions and reports to determine if inclement weather could impact the game's kickoff time. As of Tuesday, the Cotton Bowl will still take place as planned inside the domed venue.

“We are routinely monitoring weather reports and we are in close contact with AT&T Stadium and local officials,” Cotton Bowl officials stated. “We always have plans for inclement weather. Should conditions warrant it, we will communicate to everyone attending and connected with this year’s Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.”

Emmanuel Acho Calls Will Howard “The Worst Remaining Quarterback” in the CFP​

Former Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho has been in the news for several reasons in the past 24 hours. One of them is that he called Will Howard “the worst remaining quarterback” in the CFP. While I don’t make a habit out of reserving sections for hot-take artists like Acho, I feel the need to defend Howard here.



Howard was incredible in Ohio State’s wins over Tennessee and Oregon, completing a combined 41 of 55 passes (74.5 percent) for 630 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. According to ESPN Stats & Info, his QBR in those contests was the best among quarterbacks to compete in the CFP or a bowl game this postseason.
  1. Ohio State’s Will Howard vs. Tennessee: 98.7
  2. Ohio State’s Will Howard vs. Oregon: 97.7
  3. Miami’s Cam Ward vs. Iowa State: 97.6
  4. Arkansas’ Taylen Green vs. Texas Tech: 95.9
  5. Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart vs. Duke: 95.2
  6. Syracuse’s Kyle McCord vs. Washington State: 94.3
  7. Louisville’s Harrison Bailey vs. Washington: 92.1
  8. Texas’ Quinn Ewers vs. Arizona State: 91.9
  9. Navy’s Blake Horvath vs. Oklahoma: 90.6
  10. West Virginia’s Garrett Greene vs. Memphis: 90.4
I see Quinn Ewers in the top 10, but Penn State’s Drew Allar and Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard are nowhere to be found. Interesting!
