Ohio State and Notre Dame will play for the national championship on Monday, Jan. 20; each team has won three games in the playoffs, ripping through their respective portion of the bracket.
The eighth-seeded Buckeyes secured a thrilling victory over No. 5 Texas at the Cotton Bowl, punctuated by Jack Sawyer’s 83-yard scoop-and-score.
Meanwhile, the seventh-seeded Fighting Irish earned their own dramatic victory, besting No. 6 Penn State on a game-winning field goal from Mitch Jeter.
