Outside of the College Football Playoff, there might not be a better bowl game than Notre Dame and Ohio State competing in the Fiesta Bowl. The New Year's Day game features as much talent as any this postseason, and many of those top players will be competing in intriguing one-on-one battles.
Each team comes into this game knowing it was a few plays away from contending for a national championship, but three combined losses have these squads on the outside looking in. Now they will try to end the year strong with a definitive win over a top program.
