The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff is set to crown a national champion on Monday as 7-seed Notre Dame takes on 8-seed Ohio State at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This will be the ninth meeting for two of college football's most storied programs and marks the third consecutive season the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish will face off -- the longest such streak in the series' relatively brief history.

The countdown to the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship is on. Some Notre Dame fans are making the trip down to Atlanta but others will be enjoying the game from different restaurants and bars hosting watch parties across the state.
