National Championship Game

[NancyS]

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on the upcoming National Championship Game on Monday night. Who do you think wins? Who are you pulling for? As for me, those are two different things. I think Ohio State wins but I'll be cheering for underdog Notre Dame. I know that a TOSU win would make the Texas loss to them look better. I just can not make myself pull for Ohio State. I despise them. I think it's going to be a close game. Notre Dame just seems to find a way to win. What are your thoughts?

tOSU.

I HATE ND

[Wabi Sabi]

I think ND's D holds their own, but doubt they'll muster enough on O to stay in it as the game progresses. 

I'll go 27-13 tOSU

[Texas84]

Don't like either one but we recruit against tOSU, so guess I'll go with ND. And I like their coach. Good dude.

No thoughts.  I don't like either team.

[Treston Marshall]

34-10 OSU.

Lets go Irish!

Can’t stand Ohio State but think they roll. ND won’t have the horses to hang with them the way we did and in the end we will have played the National Champion even to five minutes left in the 4th. Hook’em. 

[Alex Butler]

I would like them both to lose. I guess I’m pulling for the Buckeyes…just because I don’t know if I can handle the swooning that would happen if Notre dame won. Plus it would give them validation for being a stupid independent and not having to play by conference rules like everyone else. 

[AJJ_Sports]

38-17 Ohio state 

[CGG]

If they could both lose, that would be ideal.   Between the two, would rather see ND win, so my prediction is:

ND - 20

OSU - 17

I hope the game goes into so many overtimes that ESPN finally decides to dump the broadcast off to the Ocho streaming hub, so ESPN can resume programming that means something.

I am for Texas and whoever is beating the hell out of Notre Dame.  

That was a mantra 50 years ago.

Besides, I would like Texas to be able to beat the defending National Champions two years in a row

For the young ones commenting here in support of ND, you would have been put down 50 years ago.

I just can’t see Riley Leonard of all QBs be the one to lead a team to the ship…. Especially against a defense like Ohio state. So regardless if ND defends well against OSU I just don’t see ND scoring enough to win.
 

I also would hate to see OSU and Ryan Day/Chip Kelly win one but it is what it is since we didn’t beat them.

I want to see Texas beat the defending National Champion again next year.

Yeah that part would be cool. They are gonna lose a lot too so it will be an interesting rematch with a lot of new faces on both sides to see who reloaded better

Rooting for the asteroid.

I don't see how ND matches up as well against Ohio State as Texas does.  I'm with Nancy - think Ohio State rolls but can't root for them.  My Dad's a big ND fan, so that's where I'll go, but thinking it ends up 38-14.

[ElCafetero]

I’ll give my predictions when the game is over 

[BurntOrangeMD]

ND had a cupcake schedule over the course of the season, so that could favor them.

...and maybe it could help Texas on the recruiting trail if ohio st loses.

However, I believe ohio st will win easily, 35 to 6.  It will probably be a pretty boring Natty game, and be over by the second quarter. 

 

I look forward to the Texas Longhorns beating the hell out of ohio st next fall!

Like 2024 and 2025, Texas will have the potential to go all the way.

 

Hook'em!

I still haven’t gotten over the 1971 Cotton Bowl. Can’t root for ND. That loss broke my young heart
