College Football Playoff National Championship: Ohio State vs. Notre Dame [Game Prediction]

[@The.ARCHIT3CT]

The irony about teams complaining about the way the seeding went, is that Ohio State had the hardest path, and here they are in the finals.

[@lpslover8627]

Touchè

[@RoofDoctorsJoanne]

Buckeye Nation here. Oregon got screwed a bit, but they were going to have to play OSU sooner or later. Go Bucks!

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Actually, we wanted to play Oregon last... they seemed to have a bad habit of not losing...

[@ReggieRay88]

I appreciate the ND story but why isnt Ohio state getting credit for losing 3 offensive line starters throughout the season, two of them all Americans and one being the Remington award winner. They've literally glued this O line together all year. As much as the UM game gets brought up no one wants to bring that up because they have great skill players.

[@Yes10292]

Because OSU is now the man. And the man doesn't need excuses.

[@mattfleese2013]

Because what your seeing is mostly 2nd, 3rd, n 4th string throught the team!!! We've Lost way more valuable players than you have That is answering your question lil fella

[@JDeubel]

It's just like Gargamel for the SEC that old man is going to make every excuse in the world for Tennessee and for Texas why Ohio State beat them convincingly and trying to say all the Gap isn't that far no Ohio State completely was Superior to those teams and I'm an outsider looking in but I tell the truth the way it is and you know who I mean by Gargamel right for the SEC the old man that all he says is Alabama and Georgia Paul something

[@mattd8670]

Because Notre Dame has lost 3 OL, 4 defensive lineman, one 1st round draft pick at CB, and still keep rolling. Benjamin Morrison held Marvin Harrison Jr to 36 receiving yards last year and when he went down, we replaced him with another star, true freshman, at CB who was just rated today by PFF.

[@mikegreen3506]

We lost STARTERS! We’re playing OL number 9! We LOST first round Left Tackle and the best Center in college football! On top of Playing against the BEST TEAMS AND STILL WON!! are you HIGH?? Yall played mediocre teams this post season! Stop the CAP

[@nuttybuckguy9813]

Lifelong Ohio State fan here. He is safe. It national media and bandwagon fans who push that narrative.

[@Yes10292]

You talking about Day? As a lifelong OSU fan, im pissed that he didn't take the michigan game seriously enough. He's clearly a good coach but if he leaves, I want out next coach to WIN THE DAMED GAME! I dont want national championships. I want to beat TTUN.

[@Edward_USMC13]

​@Yes10292 you do not speak for Buckeye nation and in fact you sound unhinged saying you don't want national championships😂 we all want to beat ttun but it's irrelevant at the end of the day

[@joshhughart289]

@Edward_USMC13 absolutely he doesn't speak for buckeye nation. We want to win every game and beat TUN most of all. However if we had to choose winning a championship or beating TUN we are taking the championship everytime. Day is a very young Coach. He will get on the right side of the rivalry and has already done amazing things and shown steady improvement.

[@TwhistyyHD]

@@joshhughart289very well said.

[@papaguche]

I would feel more confident with Urban myer as coach

[@TATTOOSbyBREEE]

These Playoffs are 🔥 better than those old school bowl games i never watched in the 90s and 2000's

[@MT-wo5fs]

Give me a break, Day is safe

[@BudNBourbon]

Go ahead it's not like we weren't picked to lose all the rest of the games we played to get here also!!! Let's go Irish!!

[@stephenmccollum1391]

Regular season loss to 5 loss Michigan is fully overshadowed by home playoff win in Prime Time over Tennessee Rose Bowl over #1 undefeated Oregon and Cotton Bowl over Texas I will take that every year. The best team in college football. The Ohio State University Buckeyes

[@stephenmccollum1391]

[@joenolan4917]

Nd and Michigan rivalry goes back to the 1880s so safe to say we would like to get tied back up with them at 12 nattys

[@ThomasCooney-vh4gj]

Danny Kanel. Very very bad. How does anyone take this guy seriously? He has to be the worst college football analyst I’ve seen in quite some time

[@zatomb2574]

OSU is not the same team after the MI loss. The O and D lines have stepped up. Day doesn't run up the score and rests the starters at the end of the game so that may pay off now. Sounds like ND does the opposite. OSU's weakness on D is running a prevent D until the red zone and then they tightening up. On O, it's Howard unable to throw deep. If OSU O and D lines play like the last 2 games though, I think they're the best team in the country.

[@lpslover8627]

Let's go Buckeyes! Hopefully we can compete.

[@garywascovich8436]

and expansion to 16 makes sense...no one wants a bye, and whats the worse that can happen, there are 6-7 blowouts in the first round rather than the 4 we had? NFL sends 14 out of 32 (42%)teams to their playoff, FCS has 129 teams and they send 24 teams (18%)to their playoff, DII has 162 teams and send 28 (17%)to their playoff, DI basket ball send 64 (18%)of the 352 teams and DI football only sends 12 out of 130 (9%) teams is ridiculous!!

[@chrismorgan6917]

RJ, I know you’re an Oklahoma fan but c’mon man…why in the world would Knowles leave Ohio State for OU? You think Ohio State couldn’t/wouldn’t match or exceed anything OU could muster? Unless he’s unhappy (which there is zero evidence of) there is no chance Jim Knowles leaves.

[@LivinRentFreeInYourHead]

SEC better get use to not winning as much. In 4 team playoff, SEC regularly got half the teams in it. I don’t ever see 6 SEC teams making a 12 team playoff.

[@nuttybuckguy9813]

I ALWAYS pushed back on "Ryan Day is not the guy" bs. It was only after Nov 30 that I began to wonder. He is THE guy to THE Ohio State University.

[@joshhughart289]

Every team has its share of obnoxious fans.. As much as the national media has talked crap on Ohio State karma should be our side. May the best win.

[@chrissmith1364]

Really, I see a lot coming from the Irish. OSU has always been a target of hatred. Good luck and congrats for making the game, should be fun to watch. God Bless

[@conchrolla2884]

Seeing more toxic ND fans scrolling through the comments.. With that being said, if ND was in the big ten they wouldn’t even be in the cfp.

[@old_school_guy]

OSU lost to Michigan on purpose. They knew they were in playoff and took the time off for practice and such. They went to Oregon and lost by one point. Great game. Beat Indiana and Penn St. Why wouldn't they be in? Big 10 championship would just be another game to get someone hurt.

[@James-g4c6l]

Just saw some guy Malik Ziare? WHO? Talking 💩. My first prediction was 38-13 Buckeyes. Now I'm going 52-6. Ohio State will clean up the mistakes they made in the Texas game and if ND plays man defense on our wide receivers this game will be over real fast.

[@carlosmayfield2519]

😂

[@DDKaraokeOutlaw]

Malik Zaire is a tool who is still butt-hrt that Urban Meyer thought he was trash and pulled his scholarship offer for JT Barrett. Turned out Meyer was 100% correct.

[@DRE383]

not all, that glittahs, is gold

[@nuttybuckguy9813]

I would be SHOCKED if ND is able to limit this offense to less than 24 points.

[@TheLearningCatalystCoach]

Like when you scored 21 against Nebraska, 20 against Penn State, and 10 against Michigan. You all have flipped a switch...but it's clearly a switch that can be impacted. I'm shocked that you don't respect Notre Dame having one of, if not the best defense. We're more talented than Texas at LB and DB and more vicious with a better DC cooking up schemes. Should be a a good game.

[@super-manny5648]

@@TheLearningCatalystCoach u see the playoff score's

[@joshhughart289]

If Ohio State comes in with a conservative gameplan like against Texas then yes ND could hold Ohio State to 24. If Ohio State gets a lot of 1v1 it could easily turn into a 40 burger. Very much respect ND's defense. I don't think they are foolish enough to plan man.

[@TheLearningCatalystCoach]

@super-manny5648 sure..against a way overrated Tennessee team(that we all knew outside the SEC didn't belong) and an unprepared Oregon team. Then you barely skated by Texas with 28(thanks to both Texas blundering near the goal line threatening to tie it up, and OSU making a great play) Credit OSU for a great playoff run...but they're definitely not unbeatable, and were given 2 gifts of bad defenses to start.
