There’s decades-old postseason history with Ohio State’s first College Football Playoff opponent. Though most of you reading these words already knew that.
The No. 2 Buckeyes face No. 10 Miami in the quarterfinals of the CFP after the Hurricanes defeated No. 7 Texas A&M in a 10-3 slog on Saturday. It’s the first time the teams have met in the postseason since Ohio State beat Miami in double overtime in the 2003 BCS National Championship Game.
In the nearly 23 years since, Ohio State has met Miami twice, both times in the regular season for a home-and-home series with the Hurricanes in 2010 and 2011.
