ATLANTA -- Rocco Spindler still remembers the feeling that permeated the air in South Bend, Indiana, during late November in 2021. The Notre Dame offensive lineman -- then a freshman -- and his teammates had just finished an 11-1 season only to be hit with the news that their head coach, Brian Kelly, was leaving for LSU while they still had an outside shot at making the College Football Playoff. "There was a lot of uncertainty that whole week," Spindler said.

ATLANTA -- "Think traditionally, but without traditional thinking."Those were the words of Ross Bjork, the still-new Ohio State athletic director during the Saturday morning media day ahead of Monday night's College Football Playoff National Championship game.

The Buckeyes and Fighting Irish inarguably rank among the most tradition-rich in the 155-year history of college football.

Ohio State's recruiting class of 2021 was among the best in the country, ranked No. 2 nationally with seven five-star prospects, and by the end of the 2023 season had largely delivered on its promise, compiling a 32-4 record over three regular seasons. But for many members of that class, there was still unfinished business -- namely beating Michigan and winning a national championship -- that became the focus of discussions about coming back to Columbus.
