In 2022, Ohio State ranked No. 14, and in 2023, it reached No. 3. This year, it claimed the top spot in defensive rankings.

Paul Finebaum detonated on Ohio State football and who he wants to win the College Football Playoff Championship Game.

Notre Dame was at the center of the infamous “Catholics vs. Convicts” game vs. the Miami Hurricanes way back in 1988. Now, 36 years later, the Fighting Irish are once again being christened as the “likeable” good guys ahead of Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game,

Finebaum gave the Buckeyes’ coach his due, but he’s still a step below a certain someone in the SEC: Kirby Smart. Why? He has a few more accolades under his belt at this current time.

Finebaum said Notre Dame must play a near-flawless game to have a shot at an upset win.
