The College Football Playoff is heating up, and the final four teams are set to battle it out for the ultimate glory! Texas will take on Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, while Notre Dame faces Penn State in the Orange Bowl. With massive victories over Clemson, Oregon, SMU, and Georgia, these teams have proven their ability to win big games—but now, the stakes are higher than ever.
In a jaw-dropping moment on Fox Sports 1’s First Things First, commentator Nick Wright made a game-changing prediction: “I think Notre Dame is going to win the national championship.” The claim took former NFL star Greg Jennings by surprise, who argued Ohio State had the title locked down. Wright wasn’t having it: “Ryan Day will find a way to lose it,” he said, boldly dismissing the Buckeyes.
As the playoff action intensifies, the hosts agreed that the real excitement lies in seeing Notre Dame reach the final. With history on the line, either Marcus Freeman of Notre Dame or James Franklin of Penn State could become the first Black head coach in an FBS national championship game—an incredible milestone for the sport.
Get ready for a wild ride to the national title as Notre Dame, Texas, Ohio State, and Penn State fight for glory, with the first clash set to take place next week in Florida. Who will make history and claim the crown? Stay tuned!
