Will Howard, Jim Knowles and Al Golden are just some of the ties the College Football Playoff National Championship has to Philadelphia.

Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz took a shot at Ohio State's Ryan Day leading into Monday's CFP championship game. Here more:

Ohio State is trying for its sixth title, and first since its 2014 team won the inaugural CFP. Notre Dame is going for its 12th title, and first since 1988.

The Fighting Irish, who have played their way to the national championship vs. Ohio State, will also get a larger chunk of change from their playoff run than other schools.

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman has turned a lot of heads in a short amount of time. He took over as the head man for the Fighting Irish in 2021 after serving as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
