By defeating No. 7-seeded Notre Dame 34-23 in Monday’s national championship game, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the 2025 college football national champions, secured the eighth seed in the new 12-team College Football Playoff field.
Will Howard ended a game that had been a laugher by hitting big-play receiver Jeremiah Smith for 56 yards on a late third-and-11. Late in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame, trailing 31-7, made it a one-score game with two touchdowns and two 2-point conversions. But the real jubilation began when Howard’s flawless pass to Smith set up a field goal. It was the first championship since the 2014 season and Ohio State’s sixth overall.
Fanatics launched an entire line of commemorative merchandise, including hats, T-shirts, hoodies, and much more, as the confetti fell on the Buckeyes’ thrilling triumph on the largest stage in sports.

The Buckeyes’ determination to win the national championship
After falling to rival Michigan in its season finale for the second time in the regular season and the fourth time in a row, Ohio State once appeared hopeless. However, the Buckeyes showed off their enormous potential throughout the season, losing only to No. 1 Oregon (32-31) in a back-and-forth match in their fourth game. Ohio State defeated two top-5 teams along the way, No. 3 Penn State on the road (20-13) and No. 5 Indiana at home (38-15), to win five straight games following the Ducks’ setback and earn the No. 8 seed in the playoff bracket.
Ohio State defeated Notre Dame (34–23) on Monday night after defeating No. 9 Tennessee (42–17), No. 1 Oregon (41-21), and No. 5 Texas (28–14), saving its best football for last in the postseason mix.
