Where is Notre Dame located? Here's what to know about the Fighting Irish ahead of Monday's College Football Playoff championship game vs. Ohio State:

Finishing 14-2 in the inaugural 12-team playoff season is nothing to be ashamed of for the Fighting Irish. But for longtime Notre Dame fan and comedian Shane Gillis, the loss left him wanting more. Motivated by his love for the team, Gillis made it clear that he was willing to contribute to the team’s NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) efforts.

Then, for the biggest play of the game, Notre Dame decided to leave Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith on an island. It was third and 12 and the Fighting Irish would get the ball back with a stop with a chance to tie the game. Smith completely burned his defender and he was wide open for a huge gain, and he iced the game.

Ohio State started the second half strong as well as they scored a touchdown on their first drive, and then they kicked a field goal after Notre Dame failed to convert a fake punt. It was 31-7, and the Fighting Irish were showing no signs of life. Then, everything changed.
