The College Football Playoff has proven to be a success in its first-ever iteration as a 12-team tournament.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have emerged as the Cinderella team of the College Football Playoff. Since their stunning loss to the Northern Illinois Huskies, the Fighting Irish have been flawless. Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes have enjoyed a massive turnaround since their loss to the Michigan Wolverines to end the regular season. Marcus Freeman of Notre Dame and Ryan Day of Ohio State have emerged as two of the top leaders in the game.

After dismantling both the Tennessee Volunteers and Oregon Ducks in their first two College Football Playoff games, Ohio State entered its Cotton Bowl matchup with the Texas Longhorns as the heavy favorite. And in the end, the Buckeyes did win by two touchdowns.
But the matchup with Texas was closer than the final score indicated.
At one point, it looked like the Buckeyes were on the ropes. When Texas tied the game at 14 apiece in the third quarter, Ohio State appeared to be in serious trouble.
The offense had stalled, and the defense looked tired. Freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith was all but invisible, and Will Howard was starting to look frazzled.
But somehow, the Buckeyes found a way to win, making numerous key stops and getting an enormous strip sack from Jack Sawyer, which he returned 83 yards for a touchdown.
Ohio State certainly did not play its A-game in this one. This wasn’t Tennessee, and it wasn’t Oregon. The Buckeyes committed nine penalties, blew several coverages, dropped touchdown passes, and looked out of sorts for a good portion of the evening.
Yet this team is so talented and tough that it managed to snatch a victory, even with Smith—Ohio State’s most explosive player—logging just one catch for three yards.

Notre Dame has been a great story with an impressive run, but it is likely to end with a stark reality check against Ohio State, the most talented team in college football. The Buckeyes’ defense should dominate the Irish’s offense.
