Nick Saban and the ESPN " College GameDay " covered the national title matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Atlanta, Georgia. After discussing the finale of the 12-team College Football Playoff, Saban and the rest of the crew revealed their predictions for the game.

Ohio State's most reason loss came to rival Michigan, and it was certainly an ugly contest. The Wolverines had pretty much zero passing attack in the game, but they were still able to win. They made Ohio State uncomfortable, and they didn't let them play their game. That's what Notre Dame has to do.

The ESPN analyst believes Ohio State will challenge Notre Dame's man-to-man defense right away. How will it play out?
