The Ohio State Buckeyes are just a few short days away from playing in the national championship against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Most predictions coming

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ohio State coach Ryan Day is now one win away from a national title, just weeks after it seemed the program was in long-term trouble. Now, after three-straight playoff wins, the Buckeyes will face Notre Dame in the national title game on Jan. 20.

The stakes are rising for 2026 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis. The Ohio State Buckeyes have their eyes on winning the national championship Monday night against Notre Dame, but this is another prize worth fighting for.

Ohio State Buckeyes former head coach Urban Meyer has revealed his national championship prediction against Notre Dame.

Buckeye fans can relax (a little) because history indicates the odds are in their favor for the national championship game.

Day’s Buckeyes had eventual national champion Georgia on tilt in the playoffs a couple of years ago, but the Ohio State lost a heartbreaker. Day’s record vs. Michigan is rough for Buckeyes fans to digest, but Ohio State’s leader is 60 minutes away from potentially adding a national championship to his resume.
