Ryan Day, Ohio State's head coach, and Chip Kelly, the team's offensive coordinator, are both from New Hampshire. Both got their start as players at the University of New Hampshire. The team is looking to secure its first CFP Championship win since the game's inaugural run in 2015.

In a roller-coaster season, the Irish took a deep dive early before slowly ascending over the last four months.
