Celebrities at Ohio State-Miami: Michael Irvin, Shaquille O'Neal among fans attending Cotton Bowl

The College Football Playoff quarterfinals kick off Wednesday night with the Cotton Bowl, featuring two of the biggest brands in the sport.

Ohio State and Miami will face off for the right to move on to the next round. These two schools frequently produce some of the biggest stars in the NFL, so there are plenty of celebrity fans on both sides of the matchup.

Miami's sideline often features former players like Michael Irvin and Warren Sapp, while Ohio State travels to games with a slew of former players itself. Combine that with this game being played in Dallas, and the celebrities will surely be out in attendance ahead on New Year's Eve.

Here's a look at who came out to watch Ohio State vs. Miami on Wednesday night.
