ND just seems to find ways to win, even if it's ugly. Ohio State has to come out fast and keep going fast.
If they let it turn into another slug fest like the Cotton Bowl, it's gonna be another stressful night

I think it’s a bit unfortunate that only one team in the title game this year is even able to claim it if they win. Kinda makes it lose its luster.
Woody Hayes, the Ohio State football coach, famously said, "You can't claim a national championship without winning The Game. The only meaningful statistic is the number of times you beat Michigan"

Woohoo, lets go Lucky Charms. A dormant powerhouse exercising their personal demons and finally ending a long drought is pretty awesome to see.
OHST is in a pretty similar position as pre-2021 UGA was. Even if they didn't win the whole thing that year, you know they weren't going anywhere. Too much talent, seemingly endless resources, etc.
ND's position seems much more like 2023 UM. The opportunities are significantly more limited. Have to take advantage when you get them.
Plus it's not like OHST has really been that dormant anyway. Their last Nat'l Title doesn't even feel like it was that long ago. It wouldn't kill them to wait a little bit longer.
OHST: 22
ND: 25

I, for one, am really looking forward to the “keep Ryan day for eternity ” game. But congrats on the chance for your cute wittle “national title” where you’re the national champion of everyone but your biggest rival lol.
Michigan still talking about their upset victory

Great 5 loss season. Congrats on the one upset victory that you keep telling yourself is all that matters after sucking.
Ohio State is trying to do the only thing it can do to heal after that loss. scUM can't doing anything anymore. The season was over after playing in something called the Reliaquest Bowl

Id rather have Michigans current season than Ohio states. It put to the test whether beating Ohio state was more important than a championship; answer. It is. I wouldn’t swap spots for the world. This is great. Ohio state winning just makes our win even better. A win that will be talked about historically for the rest of this rivalry.

Dear Marcus Freeman,
You are a Buckeye for life and when you aren't playing Ohio State, I root for you even if I hate Notre Dame.
Buckeye Nation loves you.
This isn't personal.
Some day, you will come home to Columbus.
Go Bucks! Beat the Irish!

That’s the only thing that explains Ewers performance last night. Woof.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with Ohio State's defense.
Texas is done. Moving on to Notre Dame.

You're deluding yourself. If Michigan was one win away from its second national title in a row you wouldn't care nearly as much about them losing to Ohio State.

Plot twist: Ewers transferred from Ohio State because a psychic told him one day his friend and roommate at Ohio State would break his heart. So, he felt like he had to leave to prevent that from happening.

I absolutely would. Beating Ohio state > national title > big ten > Michigan State. Last year the national title was just gravy on top of beating Ohio. Because you know if you win this, buy that little national title hat and see a guy wearing a block M. They’re going to snicker at you rather than divert their eyes.
