CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - It’ll be the Buckeyes and the Hurricanes in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

Miami advanced with a 10-3 win over Texas A&M Saturday in round one of the college football playoff.

Freshman Malachi Toney scored the game-winning TD with 1:44 left in regulation to break a 3-3 tie.

Miami kicker Carter Davis had missed 3 of 4 field goals in windy conditions.

Ohio State (12-1) is an early 8.5 point favorite.

The Cotton Bowl is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 31 (ESPN).
