We’re a little more than three days away from the first College Football Playoff National Championship of the 12-team era.
It’s been a surprising trip through the playoffs, with No. 8 Ohio State having to go through heavyweights like No. 1 Oregon and No. 5 Texas while No. 5 Notre Dame handily dispatched upstart Indiana, shocked No. 2 Georgia and won a thriller over No. 4 Penn State. Whoever wins, it won’t be their first time ascending the hill: Notre Dame claims 11 national championships, albeit none since 1988, while Ohio State is looking for its second title of the CFP era.
