Ohio State enters its first game of the season as a three-score favorite over the No. 5 team in the country.

Notre Dame has appeared in the College Football Playoff in two of the past four seasons, and this year the Irish have four preseason AP All-Americans on their roster – just one fewer than the second-ranked Buckeyes.
