The first 12-team version of the College Football Playoff has reached the national championship game and it will be Notre Dame against heavily favored Ohio State. The tantalizing matchup comes after some wondered if the CFP selection committee got it right.

Ohio State came up with the win in the Cotton Bowl on Friday over Texas to advance to the CFP championship game. Who do the Buckeyes play next?

At BetMGM, the Buckeyes opened up as 9.5-point favorites to defeat Notre Dame in Atlanta on January 20th, marking just the second time all season the Irish have opened as underdogs. The only other instance was a Week 1 matchup at Texas A&M (-3) in the season opener for both schools. The Irish won outright, 23-13.

Jack Sawyer etched his name into Ohio State history with an 83-yard fumble recovery against Texas that delivered the Buckeyes to the national championship game.

Sawyer's passion for the Buckeyes is unmatched, and his 83-yard fumble return touchdown to beat Texas will live forever in Ohio State lore.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were able to pull off a huge 28-14 win over the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl. Jack Sawyer was a big part of the reason they were able to win the game and advance to the national championship.
