The final game of the 2024 college football season is set to be played on Monday. Ohio State will play Notre Dame for this season's national title in the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff format.

The Ohio State Buckeyes may have been looking to replace head coach Ryan Day not too long ago after losing to Michigan for a fourth-straight time, but the tides have turned. One potential replacement option might've been Ohio State legend Eddie George.

Day and the Buckeyes were beaten by their bitter rivals and booed off their home field less than 2 months ago. Now they have a shot at winning it all.

Ohio State fans have complicated feelings toward Day, who has lost four straight to Michigan but is one win away from a national title.

Oh, the bilious anger with which Ohio State football fans chanted their coach’s name after a 13-10 upset loss to mega-rival Michigan at Ohio Stadium to end the regular season. Only they didn’t chant “fire” at all, but rather a different four-letter F-word.

Hard conversations that were long overdue.  It all came spilling out in a players-only meeting on the Tuesday after Ohio State's devastating loss to Michigan in the final weekend of the regular season.

A Buckeyes win would give the Big Ten back-to-back national champions for the first time since 1942, when the league was called the Western Conference. Paul Brown-coached Ohio State went 9-1 that year and was the third straight national champion from the conference. Voters crowned Minnesota in 1940 and ’41.
