ESPN revealed its top 100 players of the 2024 college football season on Wednesday. Ewers barely squeaked into the list at No. 91 but could have been ranked higher had he pulled out a win in major games, including the SEC championship and the Cotton Bowl.

Why did Quinn Ewers transfer from Ohio State to Texas after his freshman season? Here's what he said ahead of the Cotton Bowl about his move:

When it came to the NFL Draft, there used to be this phenomenon called "bowl-game bias," when a prospect would see massive movement in his draft stock based on one game to end the season. It was pretty foolish.

Texas' best win this year is against Clemson in the first-round of the playoff. They haven't played a team as good as Ohio State, and they certainly haven't beaten anyone as good as Ohio State. This is going to be an incredibly challenging test for the Longhorns and they will have to play mistake-free football to get a win.
