The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will open their national title defense in Week 1 with a showdown in Columbus against the top-ranked Texas Longhorns. It’s the first leg of a home-and-home series the two bluebloods scheduled back in 2012, with the return game set for 2026 in Austin.

Arch Manning is the preseason favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Here's what recent history says about the Texas football QB's odds.

Top-ranked Texas is the consensus favorite to win it all, though it’s a crowded field. The Longhorns are +450 favorites at BetMGM Sportsbook, followed by third-ranked and defending champion Ohio State (+525). Four other teams — No. 2 Penn State, No. 4 Clemson, No. 5 Georgia and No. 7 Oregon — are between 7-1 and 9-1.

Texas tops the preseason Top 25 with Arch Manning, but Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State are close, putting pressure on the Longhorns to prove they belong.

As the new running backs coach at Texas, Chad Scott will be tasked with coaching up a rushing attack that averaged 158.8 yards per game last season.
