There's only one game remaining in what has been the longest college football season in history, which started way back on August 24, 2024, when Georgia Tech upset then-No. 10 Florida State 24-21 in Ireland.

After defeating Texas in the 2025 Cotton Bowl, Ohio State advanced to the 2025 College Football Championship game vs. Notre Dame. Here's how to watch.

OSU’s devastating offense ranks Top 10 on each side of the ball in success rate, EPA/play and marginal efficiency. The main areas of weakness on offense are the Ohio State O-line’s ability to handle extra rushers, ranking 78th with a 9.2% blitz down sack rate, and a somewhat elevated 10.2% blown run block rate that checks in at 94th nationally.

The first 12-team version of the College Football Playoff has reached the national championship game and it will be Ohio State against Notre Dame.

A four-team College Football Playoff would have omitted the nation's best team from the bracket. The bigger playoff saved this matchup.

In college football, the team that scores more in the last four minutes of the second quarter and first four minutes of third wins 70% of the time. Nobody plays better in the ‘middle eight’ than Notre Dame.
