Both teams had battles in the fourth quarter in the semifinals, as Notre Dame outlasted Penn State 27-24 and Ohio State used a goal-line stand and subsequent scoop-and-score to put some distance in the 28-14 final score against Texas. It was Ohio State’s first real test in the College Football Playoff after blasting Tennessee and Oregon by a combined score of 83-38 in the first two games.

Notre Dame is actually the higher-seeded team here, coming into the CFP as the No. 7, while the Buckeyes fell to No. 8 with the loss to Michigan and the happenings of conference championship weekend, of which Ohio State was not a part of for a fourth straight season.
