Ohio State is favored by 9 1/2 points over Notre Dame in the College Football Championship national title game.

Notre Dame won't need to look too far for bulletin board material before it's matchup with Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship game next week. Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have already given the Fighting Irish more than enough.

Notre Dame and Ohio State entered the College Football Playoff as the No. 7 and No. 8 seeded teams. Neither won a conference; heck, Notre Dame isn't in a conference to win. Ohio State's loss to Michigan on November 30th knocked them out of the Big Ten title game.
