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.

Whenever humans want to pass judgement on their quality of life, they look to their left and right, to the people above and below them, to their children's generation and how much better their live would be than their own. However, all these people fail to look in the direction that matters, which is backwards at the hellscape that they have developed and been born beyond.

90% of humans in the world will never know what missing a meal because you have no money feels like.

For the average human alive today, they are not expected to work till the age of 18, surviving on free gibs for the first 18 years, and expect to retire by 65, which gives the average person 7 more years of not having to worry about working every day to stay alive. In total for 25 years out of 72 years of existence, the average human doesn't have to work to keep themselves alive. 33% of their lives spent just chilling, and even in the working ages, they get two days out of the seven days of the week off. Which is 13.42 additional years of time spent not working. That is a total of 38.42 years of a persons life, or more than 50% of a persons life where they are not working through a day to support themselves, and we aren't even including the vacation time here.

Meanwhile, we look at the animal kingdom, and you are lucky if half your progeny survive to adulthood. You drink dirty water and raw food that shortens your lifespan to a few decades at most, generally 20-30 years time if you are very lucky. Every day is a struggle. Energy needs to be conserved 24/7. You are either acquiring short term resources until those run out and you have to hunt or scavenge again, or you are resting and conserving energy for the next hunt or scavenging mission. You do not have the time, intelligence, or resources to make things better, to make things easier. You simply are born into the life you will live and you die with nothing changing for those that will come after you.

It is only in the human realm that the worst deal you can get is that 10 years down the line things will be better. Even in your worst case scenario, quality of life moves from complete shit to slightly less shit, and your kid will always grow up with a slightly better shirt than you did, even in the worst scenarios, for 90-99% of mankind.

Yet all we hear day in and day out is how bad life is. How meaningless existence is. How everybody is being taken advantage of every single step of the way. How there is nothing worth working for.

All of it is bullshit. The whining of manchildren who cannot appreciate how good they have it, because they can only compare their life to their neighbors and their betters, and live every day insecure in the knowledge that somebody better exists out there.

That is why the west so often relies on foreign labor and immigrants now, because the third worlder is the last group of humans left who can appreciate living in the developed society enough to agree to "suffering" through the lesser paradise where things will still continue to keep getting better for his children over time.

Meanwhile the average westoid is resentful of the best quality of life provided to him on the planet, where because of cost disease, he can flip burgers and still get paid 10x more than another person putting in the same skills and twice the effort in the third world. Providing the westoid with a far better quality of life. Is he grateful for it though? No. Never. Because all he knows is that there are people better than him on the planet. Incapable of embracing a utopia even when he was born into it, because he didn't get the throne.

This is the true tragedy of the modern times. A people living as the superior species on the planet with things getting better forever, but instead of finding joy and optimism in this stability, they only find a lifelong insecurity, forever left feeling like they can never be enough.

That is the tragedy of the developed world. An entire society drowning in the mental illness of lifelong insecurity, and it will be the death of them unless they make peace with their existence and accept that a forever improving life is good enough to be worth living, no matter what position you live it from.

Conclusion:

Be grateful for the life lived that will always end better than how it started. Be forever grateful for being born into times where you need not fight your own in a desperate bid to snatch the last slice of bread. Be grateful that you are born into times where you have the time to question the why of things rather than an entire life spent just surviving. Live your best life, and be free of guilt for it, for as long as the world moves forward, you are living a good life worth living.

Hello my fellow Mobians it is I Elias Acorn, King of the house of Acorn with fresh intel from Robtoniks Robotropolis. The dastardly Robotonik forces his overlander subjects to eat nothing but liquid soy feed in order to save money for his cruel schemes, but it seems his Soylent factories are starting to run out. One over lander notices:

Shortages, discounts at supermarkets, no refunds, service delays. Is this it?

To which this astute Overlander noticed:

When I posted my concerns about their financial health 3 months ago, soylent_team replied saying:

We promise we aren't going anywhere. There have been some bumps this year, but hang on with us, we promise we are here to stay! [1]

In August, their CEO said:

We have integrated and created efficiencies through our shared service platform for our brands over the course of 2023 and 2024 allowing the Company to now experience tremendous retail expansion, topline growth and higher margins. [...] If you look at any of our portfolio companies we are winning because we have extremely unique products and brands with defensive moats and scaling distribution [2]

However, their accountants sounded less upbeat when they wrote in a recent filing:

substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year [3]

[2] https://investors.starcobrands.com/press-releases/detail/93/starco-brands-announces-insider-stock-buy-back-plan-and

[3] See "NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN" here.

This overlander wonders how Doctor Robtonik's mean bean soylent machine could have ever run into problems:

It must take a special kind of incompetence to screw up such a fabulous company. I mean, the Soylent founders built a great tasting, nutritional product, gained a loyal and enthusiastic following, expanded the product line, went international, and were a market leader. They had every advantage! Now look at them - a struggling unit of a penny stock company that can't meet its commitments. What a bloody shame.

Im sure eating nothing but soy feed and motor oil is nutritious

This sad overlander is so dependent on the soy feed he is now unable to eat normal food:

I would die if soylent went out of business

While Robtonik serves other forms of gruel to his subjects it seems they are somehow even worse then the dreeded soylent

They really need new ownership under someone that cares about the brand and the company's original vision. The Starco buyout was the beginning of the end. At the end of the day, Soylent's original powder is the only product I have been able to drink daily for years and not have any issues. If anything it is consistent. I tried Huel as an alternative due to the shortage and I HATED it. It tastes like plain oatmeal with 20 packets of Splenda and is so thick you need a spoon to consume it (not to mention it gives me a painful stomach ache). So is Soylent going under? I honestly don't know, but I do hope that someone competent can right the clearly sinking ship that is the Soylent brand.

This is why in the Kingdom of Knothole we only eat the finest real foods like Uncle Chuck's chili dogs rather then this technological abomination. Source Speed Freedom Fighters may you win in your quest to free these poor souls

The top post on /r/gym this month is 300lb deadlift (F20, 136lbs)

She has a gigantic arse but her form is atrocious. She's only lifting 2.2x bodyweight which isn't a "top post of the month"-tier lift for a 20 year old woman.

The /r/gym jannie completely spergs out and the comment thread is a sea of [removed]. Anyone who tells OP to work on her form to avoid injury is banned.

"Stop trying to make it all about you." he says in a thread that he's made entirely about him.

The only comments remaining are compliments like "you go girl!" and "I think you could lift another 20lbs!"

I hope she doesn't end up in a wheelchair.
