After five Big Noon Kickoff featured games in 2025, Ohio State will begin the season as the marquee game for Fox when Texas comes to town on August 30

Texas Longhorns Week 1 College Football Playoff rematch is set to kickoff at noon ET, and fans are not happy about it.

It marked the second consecutive year that the Longhorns had been eliminated in the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff. After having three chances to tie the game from the red zone, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was sacked by linebacker Jack Sawyer, who scooped up his fumble and ran it back for an 83-yard touchdown.
