Texas and Washington will face off in the 2024 College Football Playoff semifinals, with a spot in the final at stake. Texas, making its fourth appearance, is led by quarterback Quinn Ewers, supported by a dominant offensive line. Despite having not won a game since 2019, they are hoping to cause a stir against Washington, who are the favourites after an undefeated season. Washington's offense will be led by Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Penix Jr. This is Washington's first appearance in the CFP.
