[Bets] College Football Playoff National Championship - Ohio State vs Notre Dame - 7:30pm EST

It is time sports goomblers for the final game of the CFB season! Also the 5k MB pick em contest will be paid out tonight, you can find the standings here

I'll have some prop bets in the comments, but let me know if you have any ideas. Okay onto a preview of the game

Their paths to atlanta

Ohio State

The Buckeyes entered the playoff as the No. 8 seed — though ranked No. 6 in the final CFP top 25 — after missing out on an opportunity for the Big Ten championship and a bye following a shocking home loss to longtime rival Michigan. Spirits seemed gloomy in Columbus as the Wolverines took down Ohio State for the fourth consecutive season — on what was a particularly down year for "that team up north." Questions were swirling around head coach Ryan Day and what to make of potentially another disappointing season. However, Day quickly put the murmurs to bed, easily running by Tennessee in the first round and manhandling undefeated, No. 1 seed Oregon in the CFP quarterfinals.

The Buckeyes outscored their first two playoff opponents 83-38 before taking down Texas 28-14 in the Cotton Bowl. Their semifinal matchup was still a two-score win, but OSU was tested late, unlike in its previous two playoff games. The Longhorns had possession inside the Buckeye's 5-yard line late in the game, threatening to tie the game at 21 in the fourth. However, the stout Ohio State defense stepped up, knocking the Texas offense back outside the 5-yard line before OSU defensive end Jack Sawyer strip-sacked Quinn Ewers and ran the ball 83 yards to the house.

It was a play that Buckeye nation will not soon forget, and Ryan Day's once-questioned squad is rolling into Atlanta with about as much momentum as a team can hold.

Notre Dame

The Irish entered the playoff seeded No. 7, incapable of receiving a bye as an independent. This is a team that was counted out early in the season, and at the time, it was fair. Notre Dame lost to the MAC's Northern Illinois in Week 2. It was a low point in South Bend, and heavy pressure was immediately dropped on Marcus Freeman's squad. One more loss in its remaining 10 games would have likely knocked the Irish out of the 12-team playoff.

Four months later, Notre Dame holds the nation's longest winning streak (13) and is heading to its first title game since 2012. The Irish took a similar, while not as dominant, path as the Buckeyes, defeating Indiana and Georgia relatively easily before their defense stepped up late against Penn State in the semifinals. Riley Leonard and Notre Dame will look to add its another ring to its historic football program on Monday.

Series history

Ohio State leads the all-time series 6-2, winning the previous six matchups since 1995. Notre Dame's only two wins came in 1935 and 1936. The two powerhouse programs most recently faced off in 2023, delivering one of the best finishes of the season.

No. 9 Notre Dame led No. 6 Ohio State 14-10 with 1:25 remaining when the Buckeyes took over on their own 35-yard line with one timeout. The next 12 plays consisted of a 3rd and 10, 4th and 7 and 3rd and 19 conversion down to the Notre Dame 1-yard line. With no timeouts, a 3rd and goal from the 1 and 3 seconds on the clock, OSU running back Chip Trayanum punched it in for the 17-14 win.

It was arguably the best finish of the season that came in late September and one that is likely in the back of many Ohio State and Notre Dame fans' minds as we near Monday night.

Defense wins championships

The old Bear Bryant adage reigns true in 2025 as each team is anchored by two of the top defensive units in the nation. The Buckeyes rank first in the FBS in points per game allowed (12.2), yards per game (251.4) and yards per play (3.9). Day has built a sound defense on all levels, boasting an elite pass rush complemented by a smothering secondary.

Two stats exemplify the greatness of the OSU defense — opponent's red zone scoring percentage (61.11%) and sack percentage (11.06%). Both stats rank first nationally and have been fully displayed in the playoffs. The Buckeyes have 16 sacks in their three playoff games, and on the season, they are bringing down the QB over once per 10 pass attempts. Sacks are drive killers, and it will be a tall task for the Irish's banged-up offensive line to slow them down.

As for the Irish defense, they sit in second behind OSU in points allowed (14.3), seventh in yards allowed (298.7) and fifth in yards per play (4.4). Notre Dame's sack and red zone percentage don't quite stack up with the Buckeyes, but Freeman's squad has its own identity — forcing turnovers. The Irish have four thus far in the playoffs, two interceptions and two fumbles, and they are fifth in the FBS in takeaways per game on the season (2.1). All-American safety Xavier Watts has six interceptions (second in the FBS), so Will Howard must keep a close eye on the ball-hawk in the Notre Dame secondary.

Offensive X factors

Although the defenses are elite, the offenses are still flushed with talent, as expected from national championship contenders. Here are two offensive talents that could make a huge difference in the national championship:

Notre Dame

The Irish's offense is powered on the ground, averaging over 200 yards rushing per game. The combination of dual-threat Leonard and superstar running back Jeremiyah Love has poisoned teams all season. However, Love is dealing with a lingering knee injury. He is expected to play but with the added restraint of a knee brace, meaning Notre Dame may not be able to rely on him as much as Freeman would like.

In addition, this is one of the few, if not the first, matchups this season that the Irish might be out-matched on paper. It's easy to run the ball with a lead, but this reliance can hurt teams trying to come from behind — especially with your star running back not 100% healthy.

That being said, Leonard and the receivers will have to step up as they did against Penn State, and Notre Dame's leading receiver in the semifinals, Jaden Greathouse, has become Leonard's go-to target. Against the strong OSU pass rush, Greathouse should be heavily involved out of the slot position, as Leonard will need to get the ball out quick. Greathouse has fast feet and a large 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame. He could become a true game-changer as the Irish pursue their first title since 1988.

Ohio State

The obvious answer here is Jeremiah Smith. Through three playoff games, he has 14 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns. But... 290 of those yards came before the semifinals. Smith's final stat line against Texas in the semis: one catch for three yards. Now, Texas entered the Cotton Bowl with a clear game plan — stop Jeremiah Smith. Steve Sarkisian double or triple bracketed the freshman most of the night. And to come to the Longhorns' defense, it almost worked until the red zone collapse at the end of the game.

While of course Freeman is not guaranteed to deploy the same efforts at stopping Smith, it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea, seeing how he gashed Tennessee and Oregon. Thankfully for OSU fans, the Buckeyes produce wide receiver talent at the same rate McDonald's makes cheeseburgers. Guys like Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate are high-level talents, and if Smith gets the Calvin Johnson treatment, one, if not both, of these receivers should be in line for a big day.

Egbuka has experience against Watts and the Irish secondary, tallying 96 yards in the school's last matchup in 2023, including the huge 3rd and 19 catch with seconds remaining to set up the game-winning touchdown. The projected first-round draft pick will be a guy to look out for in Atlanta.

The NFL says Racism is back for the super bowl, baby :marseyracist:

At his annual Super Bowl news conference Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell strongly supported the league's policies designed to promote diversity at the club-employment level and said they would continue.

But during Super Bowl LIX, and with President Donald Trump apparently planning to attend on Sunday, the NFL might be making another kind of statement on the Caesars Superdome field itself. According to two league sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions, league officials recently changed one of the slogans expected to be stenciled in the back of an end zone from "End Racism" to "Choose Love."

The game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will mark the first time since February 2021 that "End Racism" is not included as a message in the back of a Super Bowl end zone.

The switch, conveyed internally to high-level employees earlier this week, could be perceived as a nod to the current political climate. Following the lead of Trump, who was inaugurated last month, many corporations and institutions are abandoning their diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Goodell did not follow suit when asked about the league's policies on Monday, saying he was "proud" of the league's diversity efforts.

"We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League," Goodell said. "And we're going to continue those efforts, because we've not only convinced ourselves we've proven it to ourselves — it does make the NFL better."

Is Disney responsible for poor reception of Star Wars? No, its actually the fans fault

					
					

Skeleton Crew has the lowest viewing numbers of all the Star Wars shows, despite being better than pretty much all other shows not named Andor. And then speaking of Andor, it's viewership was similarly poor when compared to The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Kenobi, Boba Fett, and the rest of the "let's smash SW toys together" slop.

Thank goodness Andor was secured as 2 season out of the gate or we'd never get a Season 2. So that begs the question, why do you reject actually good Star Wars but the eat up the slop and complain about it after? Are you really only pleased with cheap nostalgia? Do you need a Skywalker shoved into every story? Must we be stuck in Empire v. Rebels for eternity?

You are enjoying it wrong, I bet this nerd uses the term Media Literacy.

The effect you're seeing is not a judgement on current content. This is the business equivalent of sons paying for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers.

Franchises like Star Wars or Marvel cannot forever rest on their laurels. There has to be an urgency to make the best content at every opportunity. The fall currently happening is not the result of just The Acolyte. Star Wars has been stumbling more often than not over the last few years and each stumble erodes the trust in the brand. You can't suddenly re-establish the trust in one move.

They have years of rebuilding ahead of them and hopefully the leadership is reassessing what works well and what doesn't.

I gave up on watching every Star Wars show long ago. And that premise for Skeleton Crew just didn't seem that interesting. Most of the recent Star Wars shows besides Andor have been mid at best so there just didn't seem to be any need to check this out.

You can really tell the Disney shill money has run out as this is upmarseyd

Star wars fans. Darn them.

They ruined Star Wars!

You Star Wars fans are a contentious people

YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!

I know its just reddit humor that gets repeated ad nauseum but its kind of nice seeing people make fun of OP.

Star wars fans. Darn them.

They ruined Star Wars!

In the eighties and nineties I was probably in the top 10 percent of SW fans. Slowly fell back the curve with the second and third trilogy.

The Disney puked out so much content I can barely remember all the shows and movies names. Part of the story is in cartoons, part in games. I just can't keep up with SW and life with 24 hours per day.

The original feeling has been diluted, some content is better than other but certainly different from what was back then. So yes nostalgia is certainly a factor for me.

Every time there's scarcity of what I love, I wait with anticipation and once the moment arrives I try to enjoy every second of it. That's not the case anymore with SW, so I just wait and if I eventually start noticing a lot of positive comments about something, I got it. Happened with Andor and Rogue one.

It kinda feels like you are ignoring the absolute plethora of Star Wars content released after the Originals and how many duds and downright awful stuff was in there.

People love to put on rose colored glasses when looking back, but it's really not been any different except for the existence of social media.

In some ways it was easier to keep up and no one expected you to read everything.

Why do you think the problem is members of the STAR WARS subreddit...? You're speaking to a group that will almost certainly have seen this show.

The problem is advertising and marketing. Which is a problem that isn't going to be remedied by your rent here.

Yeah OP is just preaching to the choir here

Theres a large percentage of people in this sub that openly admit they haven't watched anything since season 1 of Mando.

So? You can still be a Star Wars fan and not watch every bit of content released, maybe they just really like the movies or the first trilogy, etc. It seems divisive to act like the Disney+ shows are required watching to call yourself a Star Wars fan.

Must consume slop

I'm sorry, I didn't knew I was responsible of the acolyte, mando S3, Kenobi, bobf that ended up so bad my interest in the franchise wasn't as high.

Oh also I'm responsible for the lack of marketing this show had for the casual public.

I'm truly sorry, sw is failing because of us, not the bad management of the franchise by Lucasfilm.

All we're asking is for you to eat multiple shit sandwiches and say how good the bread is.

asking? No, OP and Disney are DEMANDING.

How dare you turn your back on these shit sandwiches, you're not a true S(hit)W(ich) fan

Nobody hates a ShitWich as much as a true SW fan.

Yeah I am burned out on Star Wars media. I really don't care if this one is great or whatever, I am done with Disney's shitty handling of the IP.

Sorry guys, we are responsible for all of this

My thoughts exactly. I used to read all the books, comics, listen to the audio dramas…

Now I just don't care anymore.

After the awful string of BOBF-Kenobi-Mando season 3-acolyte (excluding bad batch, andor, and some of the tales series), I was ready to put down live action Star Wars for a bit. The word of mouth was so good from my irl friends, especially from my friends who've really soured in the franchise, that I was pleasantly surprised when the kid-centered suburban space goonies show was thoroughly entertaining. Disney did this to Lucasfilm through poor management, there's no reason Skelton crew should be as good as it is when they phoned in their cash cow of modern Star Wars of Mando season 3

Why is everyone saying this. Specifically this. What about Ahsoka? Are you leaving it out bc you liked it or bc it's forgettable.

As far as I'm concerned the only thing wrong so far was the Acolyte. If you removed Leslie, Amanda, and all them space witches. And Had Qimir as the villain with Plageus as his master that would have been amazing.

Andor A+ Bad Batch A+ BoBF B+ Kenobi B Mando S3 B- Ahsoka B- Acolyte D

I'd call that oversaturated. Regardless of the quality. If these covered 8 to 10 years we wouldn't be complaining as much. We have too much frame of reference

Lmao most of what you listed is a C at best, cmon dude

For a bunch of turbo nerds who talk about Star Wars on Reddit they are surprisingly sane.

You know blaming the people not watching the show is probably not going to convince them to watch the show.

What are they going to do, not watch the show? j/k

Seriously though, Disney has done a pretty terrible job of promoting things lately. Whatever the current Sar Wars/MCU show is, should always be front and center on Disney+. I already know about it and it's still annoying to have to tab through 4-5 pages of other shows before I can find it.

Even on the top of the page where it scrolls they always have skeleton crew as the 4th or 5th tab. The finale was the only time they had it up front.

Had to ruin that warm fuzzy feeling I was having with that j/k

Poor Star Wars is responsible for me not watching Skeleton Crew.

Frick outta here with this bullshittery.

Op is literally the consume product meme

:#marseywereback:

You realize the "slop" coming before the "good shows" is probably why the good shows didn't get much viewership, right?

Disney produced so much "slop" that people got tired of it and didn't bother to watch the newer stuff. The same thing happened with the MCU.

You say that, but the next time some slop with a flashy lightsaber or a recognizable character comes out people are going to go watch it.

I mean, Acolyte's viewership was also dismal (just not quite as bad).

The only way to save Star Wars is for Disney's projects to all flop long enough for them to put everything on pause and take a long, hard, self-evaluation. Even making mediocre shows, which would be an improvement, will not bring the disillusioned fans back.

Fair point at least with the final numbers it was very small. I'm not arguing against the idea that the TV show content has not been very good. It's certainly hard to motivate people to watch the good stuff and encourage Disney to keep making more of it when there is a lot of cheap and bad stuff, too. It does seem the fan base gets divided. I prefer more Andor-like stuff, but a fair amount of people don't want "adult Star Wars" or Star Wars without lightsabers. I would love it if the good shows got rewarded while the mediocre shows didn't, but outside of some shows most people seem very divided on reception.

Yes, at the cost of the long-term future of the franchise. Fewer and fewer people will see it each time some slop like this comes out, and eventually no matter how many original characters or fancy graphics or space battles will ever fix it.

:#marseywerebackyall:

Jfc could you come off anymore patronizing? Will this sub ever handle the fact that people have different interests? I tried Skeleton Crew and just couldn't get into it. Its as simple as that.

Who did? It's a children's show made for children to watch without parents, so there isn't even any cheeky humor you'd expect of a family watch show.

Also Disney are barely putting any money into advertising it, since they have a bias against spending money on advertising original content.

Now that the word r-slur is coming back into vogue, I hope calling OP a :#flamingfaggot: comes back. Also I swear we had a marsey that was just a pile of brown sticks with the marsey face on it.

Attacking people and calling the things they liked "slop" is not going to get them to come around to your side.

Like it or not, the majority of star wars fans like action and light saber battles. Disney's streaming model is flawed, it only counts viewership and not audience reception. It's not possible to make back their budgets when we are already paying a monthly fee to get everything. That isn't our fault, it's theirs. An obscure show set in the Star Wars universe is not going to pull the number of eyeballs a show about Obi-Wan Kenobi is, and it's dumb to expect it to. Some of this stuff needs to be allowed to be small and build a fanbase of dedicated fans, rather than everything needing to have an unsustainable amount of views.

As soon as streaming services figure out how to charge us for "premium" content it'll be game over for getting the entire library for one price.

If that was profitable they's have already done it

Exactly, I don't care how good something ends up being I'm not jumping through multiple paywalls to access it.

Maybe they can build places where we can gather and watch the premium content on a giant screen. They could sell us popcorn and soda and make even more money on concessions.

I don't think Orange Man could cure redditors of not being funny, but he does seem to be curing them of sucking off slop.

Poor quality Star Wars fims and oversaturation of low quality Star Wars shows is the reason for low viewership. Movies need to be great to pull the masses in and retain existing fanbase and the shows need to be consistently high quality with more time between them.

They need to pull back for a little while and come back strong.

SW fatigue is very real, we are at the stage where people like me who would normally tune in are overwhelmed with a sense of apathy. Right now, my interest is the lowest it's ever been

There is no coming back from the sequel trilogy. No matter what they do, Luke will still die a pathetic hermit who used too much of the force to create a hologram

The Last Jedi is good, and Luke's arc is good.

We're just going to keep pretending that a guy in a religion of peace using such immense power to project himself across space to kick someone's butt without actually resorting to violence is bad, I guess.

Or that, after learning all about this religion of peace, got disillusioned with it after learning how shitty and hypocritical the Jedi were is bad, I guess.

Religion of Peace? I don't remember him driving a truck through a Christmas Market. :#marseymuslimahitsover:

No. Star Wars is responsible for poor Star Wars

People are starting to tap out. Can't blame anyone but Disney.

No it's your fault for not consuming the slop!

Disney is responsible for poor Star Wars. I can only imagine how much more money they'd be making if they actually handled it properly from the beginning.

:#marseywereback:

So going by your post title, anyone who did not watch the very latest Star Wars show are responsible for the poor performance of previous Star Wars shows; how does that make any sense whatsoever...?

I really don't get the logic. Shouldn't it be the studio's responsibility to get fans interested in the project?

:#marseydisney:

Can't wait for the "get mad at the fans" meta to be retired.

Hey don't you want to watch book of boba Fett season 4 to see what happened to the glorf plotline in the acolyte season 2 featuring a character from the mandalorian season 4 who just entered in from Ashoka season 1??? Wait why are you running away I didn't explain how this really ties in to Reys childhood!

Disney fricked up when the Star Wars fans who regularly post to a star wars subreddit are making fun of them.

Are hardcore BDSM practitioners mentally ill?

A recent discussion I had about AGP got me thinking about which fetishes cross the line into psychological disorders and it occured to me that every Masochist I've ever met has been self destructive outside of their BDSM shit and every sadist I've met has been sadistic outside of their s*x life too so the idea that the whole thing is a LARP isn't very convincing.

Granted, I'm working with a small sample size but the one hardcore sadist I met IRL was a huge bully in his teen years who did all his "roleplay" with severely depressed chicks and also liked hurting people or watching them get hurt for the fun of it outside of his s*x life and had other antisocial traits. He was also into the really extreme shit like crying and bleeding.

I've met several women into it and unsurprisingly all of them had really low self esteem and depression.

Mayor Adams kicked off the two-day summit with a rousing speech in which he likened himself to a hero in the war against rats.

"I don't think there's been a mayor in history that says how much he hates rats," he said. "I dislike rats."

Exterminators weren't invited to the event, and neither were the city's rats. Kathleen Corradi, whom Adams appointed as the city's first "rat czar" last year, described the event as a space where rodent experts could share their philosophical treatises.

We are already losing the WAR ON RATS

Matt Frye, of New York State Integrated Pest Management, entered the rat symposium espousing a more diplomatic approach for dealing with Adams' public enemy No. 1.

"The 'war on rats' mentality may not be the best approach for our urban areas," he said.

Dr. Chelsea Himsworth, founder of the Vancouver Rat Project, compared the never-ending fight to the WAR ON DRUGS — and said health officials should focus on harm reduction instead of eliminating the vermin altogether.

"It can't be solved," Himsworth solemnly declared. "It can only be managed."

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17379606859ByzzhjSE5kObQ.webp

"I've handled 700 rats myself," said Byers, who fondly recalled driving around Vancouver in a "rat van," capturing rats, collecting their feces and urine, and even anesthetizing the rodents to pick fleas off their skin.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737960685qO5_8cNg6FOLNw.webp

"They're symbols about a lack of resources in your community," she added. "Rats live in tight social groups, When you remove some, you change how they interact with each other. You're changing how you fight for their social hierarchy. And they do urinate on each other that whole time."

"They're just like us," Corradi, Rat Czar of NYC tells us as she bounds into a planter, pushes aside long stalks of milkweed, and points out the entrance to a burrow. "They want to live in a nice place, have food nearby, and not get into too much trouble if they can."

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I've watched both the WAN segment clip and parts of the show itself, I at this time no longer remember its original content. So I went to rewatch it quickly + threw it into a transcript generator.Not at any point did Linus apologise or address his own fricking statement. He literally began with a script of the clip Steve played on his channel, yet didn't think to address its "context" and "intention". It was a 22 minute holier-than-thou dress down at Steve.Though it should be pointed out Steve's own management of the situation hasn't been terribly great, adding much ammunition to the people defending Linus, and the root cause of the drama: Linus SHOULD have addressed the Honey thing publicly when they found out. (11)

What statement does linus need to apologise for? Yeah this is the point. Steve made snide comments about linus OUT OF FRICKING CONTEXT in the honey video. But here, let me ELI5 it for you. Here's the full timeline of events regarding LTT and honey with full context.1) Linus releases a video about adblock being similar to privacy and how it hurts creators to use it since it blocks their ad revenue. This part is crucial to the story because the community was PISSED at this.2) 2 months later LTT drop Honey as a sponsor and make a post about it on their forum. Keep in mind LTT were not the only ones doing this amd there were already articles outlining what honey was doing at the time. It was not a secret LTT discovered.3) steve drops his 2023 expose about linus with no right to reply being followed which resulted in numerous mistakes but he did have fair criticisms of LTT and linus responded by taking action to fix those mistakes. He has NEVER said the criticisms were wrong btw.4) Megala... (8)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

sorry mate, no leftists say "nothingburger" we have brains and culture (-4)

Yeah I don't usually comment on things but this was just such a... Profoundly stupid statement. It's not about left or right. This is exactly the thing that's the problem with the world today, everything has to be political. You can't just have different opinions and experiences than other people. Heck, 90% of the time I've heard nothingburger was in the context of someone saying the trump felony charges were nothing burgers. That doesn't make me associate it with the right. This is a childish argument to begin with. Just move on (3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I mean, all I did was see people who said they weren't gonna watch it and figured maybe a summary would help people form an opinion that wasn't completely based on assuming what the video said. You can spin that however you want.If you really don't care about this situation, why are you here again? Like you could've just not come into the thread. (3)

Because we live in a hellscape of algorithm driven content and despite not being subbed to either LTT or GN subreddits this ridiculous clout sharking content from GN has infested reddit 'recommended posts' for weeks now.I also mentioned I love seeing people effort post to justify a preference as a 'fact' as well to be fair.There's something fundamentally frustrating seeing, otherwise tech literate communities, rewrite history to pretend Honey wasn't widely known to be a scam years ago. Heck, just rewatching Dan Olsen's video "The Nostalgia Critic and The Wall" from 2021 there's a casual reference to 'data harvesting scam, Honey' from four years ago, but I'm supposed to believe it was only LTT who had this secret information that were solely responsible for blowing the lid off Paypal Honey? Even I, figured it out myself when 'Honey gold' started popping up at carts when I had the extension installed.While criticism of LTT that has been paired with this Honey drama is often valid, the...
