A group of Ohio State fans are reportedly attending the wrong College Football Playoff semifinal game after misreading the CFP bracket and booking a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Penn State reporter Johnny McGonigal posted on Twitter Thursday morning that he ran into a group of Ohio State fans at his hotel ahead of the Orange Bowl.
“They misread the bracket and thought Ohio State would be playing in the Orange Bowl. They’ll be at Penn State-Notre Dame tonight,” McGonigal tweeted.

A group of Ohio State fans are reportedly attending the wrong College Football Playoff semifinal game after misreading the CFP bracket and booking a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Penn State reporter Johnny McGonigal posted on Twitter Thursday morning that he ran into a group of Ohio State fans at his hotel ahead of the Orange Bowl.
“They misread the bracket and thought Ohio State would be playing in the Orange Bowl. They’ll be at Penn State-Notre Dame tonight,” McGonigal tweeted.
That is obviously a costly mistake for those Buckeyes fans. Ohio State will be playing Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Friday. Notre Dame and Penn State will meet in the Orange Bowl Thursday night. McGonigal eventually followed up on his original tweet with a little more detail about the fans.
“For those wondering, they looked like students,” he posted. “Said they ‘misread the bracket.’ Didn’t say if they literally misread and booked or misread how it would play out, thinking OSU would play in the Orange Bowl, and booked weeks ago. Funny either way and stunned they didn’t sell.”

Hopefully the group of fans will be treated to an excellent, entertaining game, even if it doesn’t involve Ohio State.

Despite that, ahead of the Cotton Bowl and College Football Playoff semifinal, Day downplayed having some familiarity with AT&T Stadium.
“Even for me with the TCU game,” Ryan Day said. “So, there’s a lot of history there, and I don’t think that really has anything to do with anything, quite honestly. We’ve got to go play on the field, but it’s a great venue. We’ve had a lot of great games there, and I know we have great fans in the Dallas area and throughout Texas. And so we know it’s going to be a great atmosphere
