Ohio State and Notre Dame battle Monday in Atlanta in the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship. The 7-seed Fighting Irish and 8-seed Buckeyes had to play three rounds of playoffs to reach the finale.

Less than two months ago, loud and influential media voices were calling for the firing of the nation's winningest active coach in the wake of Ohio State's fourth straight loss to Michigan.

Ahead of the Buckeyes' national title matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, several Ohio State players opened up about how the team handled the loss to the Wolverines.

Valentina Martinez: The Buckeyes and Fighting Irish are set to face off in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Kansas State moved on from its quarterback and it created the story of Will Howard's run with Ohio State to College Football Playoff title game.

Out of its lowest moment of the season came clarity for the Ohio State Buckeyes.  Raw emotions. Honesty. 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.

Ohio State is playing like every player on the roster bottled up the feeling after losing to Michigan and is uncorking it before each play.
