The very bitter Texas Longhorns, who lost in the national championship game in each of the past two seasons, are set to face the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl.

Ohio State has won four straight Fiesta Bowl appearances, going 3-0 under coach Jim Tressel.  The matchup offers a great contrast between the run-oriented system of the Big Ten's Buckeyes and the air-minded attack of the Big 12's Longhorns.

What everyone wants to see is how the 10-point favored Longhorns respond to the controversial tiebreaker that allowed Oklahoma to represent the South Division and settled a three-way tie at 7-1 between OU, UT, and Texas Tech.

Texas won in Ohio Stadium in 2005, then went on to win the national championship. The Buckeyes won in Austin the following season and went on to play for the national championship.

Can the Buckeyes pull off the upset and finally win a big game for the first time in years? Bet on it, or against it, over at Bodog's online sportsbook - the best place to get your college football odds.
