VOTE: Ohio State or Notre Dame? Who wins the National Championship?

It was a close game, much closer than Ohio State's loss to Missouri last season.
Don't know who, but I know who I'd rather see win. The weekly memory of Beano's nonstop babbling about ND and the visual of Lou Holtz watering system when hyping ND has me leaning to osu. OK it's more than a lean. Not an osu fan but i hope it's not even close, Go BIG.
This is a better ND team than in recent times but I still think OSU is better overall and should win. Should be a fun watch.
Those would not have been the rankings if it was a 4 team playoffIf we still only had a 4 team CFP, this match-up would not have happened because tOSU & Notre Dame would not have made the 4 team cut.

I am torn. I do root for ND...but not over the Hawks. Now, I normally root for the BIG, but man....I just don't care for OSU.#6 ranked Ohio State (8 seed in CFP)

I am Irish, catholic and I hate these bums and I hope ND gets absolutely routed
It's not about how much one gets for "close". I was just lamenting that Iowa actually had a good chance to win the game and make it 6-0 for Big Ten. Not like last season when it was apparent that Iowa (and Ohio State without the quarterback) had no hope of winning their games.
What does close get us? Whoops, sorry, I just saw someone else just commented with the exact same thing.
My questions still stands.
Guys...It's all good! We had a chance to beat mighty Missouri in Nashville.
Thankful! (And yes, I know we won 10 games two years ago)
Overall...a good year for the B1G in bowl games

this will be a double digit win unless tOSU shits the bed.
one team beat the best teams (with their starting QB) in the bracket. The other team was on the soft side.
There is a reason it's a 9.5 point spread.
