Pubs are gearing up for the Monday night game between Notre Dame and Ohio State. But they also see it as the start of enthusiasm for next season.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Indiana Gov. Mike Braun made a friendly wager over who will win Monday's football National Championship.

With Notre Dame taking on Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday night, the governors of the two states made a bet with each other on Friday morning.

To cap the 20204 college football season, 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.

Notre Dame is one win away from its first national championship since the 1988 season. Do the Irish get it against Ohio State?

But evolution is also a choice. The dinosaurs didn't have to walk into the tar pits.

It lasted two weeks.

Four of those have come since Ohio State's last regular season game with two of them coming in the loss against Michigan. Notre Dame ranks fourth nationally in turnover margin per game this season and this is coming after an Orange Bowl in which it lost the turnover battle to Penn State.
