Ted Cruz and JD Vance Place Friendly Wager on Ohio State-Texas Cotton Bowl Clash

The politicians agreed to a bet involving home-state food, beer, and jerseys ahead of Friday's College Football Playoff semifinal in Arlington.

Vice President-elect JD Vance and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have made a friendly wager on the Cotton Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Texas.
The loser of the bet must deliver food and beer from their home state to the winner while wearing the opposing team's jersey.
Ohio State, a 5.5-point favorite, enters the game after a dominant win over Oregon, while Texas narrowly defeated Arizona State in overtime to secure their semifinal spot.
This marks Ohio State's sixth playoff appearance, with the team aiming for a third championship appearance, while Texas is seeking its first-ever trip to the national title game.
The game will be played Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where snow is expected to complicate travel for fans.
