There are only two teams left standing with a chance at the College Football Playoff National Championship as the inaugural 12-team tournament has almost reached the finish line. No. 7 seed Notre Dame is set to take on No. 8 seed Ohio State for all the marbles on Monday, Jan. 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. 

Both teams reached the title game via hard-fought semifinal wins over brand-name opponents. The Fighting Irish used a late interception to set up a go-ahead field goal in the game’s final seconds to knock off Penn State 24-21. The next day, Ohio State turned a fourth-and-goal into a strip-sack score to hold off a late Texas charge in a 28-14 victory over the Longhorns. 

The Buckeyes own a 6-2 all-time series lead over Notre Dame. That advantage includes a victory in last year’s 17-14 thriller in South Bend, Indiana. The Buckeyes are seeking their first title since 2014. On the other side, a win for Notre Dame would give the Irish their first national championship since 1988.
