Some of the biggest Playoff and Bowl Games are being played in Texas over the next few weeks. With the new 12-team Playoff Bracket and an exciting slate of Bowl match-ups, here are the best games in Texas and where Texas teams ended up. All-in Prices from 12/12/24.

#11 SMU and #5 Texas both made the College Football Playoff. Texas hosts Clemson in Austin while SMU is on the road in State College. Texas just released tickets today and the get-in is around $175. That’s about $60 more expensive than SMU’s match up. Upper level tickets for SMU vs Penn State start at $113. There are good SMU sideline tickets available for under $300 (Sections WG to WC). In Austin, you’ll need to sit towards the corner of the stadium to get under $500 in the lower level sideline. Sections 4 and 5 range from $670 to over $2000. The hype is strongest right now, so the best bet is to sit tight and see what the market does over the next few days.
