00:00We are now less than a week away, six days out from a

00:03college football playoff national championship game in

00:06Atlanta inside Mercedes Benz Stadium between two powerhouse

00:10programs in the sport. Two standard bearers of success in

00:15college football and two historic universities. Ohio

00:19State and Notre Dame. The Buckeyes, an eight and a half

00:22point favorite against the Fighting Irish. A total of

00:25forty-five and a hook. Joe, a projected hypothetical national

00:29championship matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame

00:33featured a nine and a half point spread. After the

00:36Buckeyes beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Notre Dame had

00:39dispatched of Penn State in the Orange Bowl on Thursday and

00:43Friday night. The actual line opened up at nine and a half.

00:47It has worked back to the Fighting Irish ever so

00:50slightly but still north of a touchdown. In your estimation,

00:55Germonary, for Monday's national championship game

00:58between the Irish and the Buckeyes, will the game be

01:01more competitive than this large eight and a half point

01:04spread might indicate? Uh no, I don't uh I I think here Ben

01:11that if it's gonna be competitive, it's gonna be

01:15because Ohio State has reverted back and shoots itself in the

01:19foot uh to give Notre Dame an opportunity uh in this game

01:24but if the Ohio State that is uh we have seen in the playoffs

01:29over these last three or four games shows up uh then I don't

01:32see how I think this game has all the makings of a absolute

01:38train wreck here uh not that Notre Dame doesn't deserve to

01:42be here but I just don't believe that Notre Dame is

01:47going to be great playing from behind uh I think if Ohio State

01:51plays error-free football, does not uh shoot themselves in

01:55the foot. I think that there might very well be a laddering

01:59situation available to people uh lay the seven, lay the eight,

02:03lay the nine, lay the ten. It could be absolute two

02:07touchdowns or more when it's all said and done and Ohio

02:10State wins.
