This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Texas and Washington will meet in the Sugar Bowl for a chance to play in the national championship game. The unbeaten and second-seeded Huskies are Pac-12 champions and led by Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback. Quarterback Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns won the Big 12 title. The winner will advance to the national title game Jan. 8 in Houston against either Alabama or Michigan, who play each other in the Rose Bowl.

The two teams also met in the postseason last year with Washington beating the Longhorns 27-20 in the Alamo Bowl. The stakes are much bigger this time around. It's the first time Texas has made the College Football Playoff and Washington's second appearance (2016).
