College Football Playoff National Championship is set as 7-seed Notre Dame will face 8-seed Ohio State in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday, Jan. 20 with the sport's most illustrious prize on the line.

This Big Ten vs. independent matchup means this is the second straight year that the Southeastern Conference will be shut out of the final.

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.
