Ohio State head coach Ryan Day put a loss to Michigan far in the rearview mirror with a national championship win over Notre Dame for the first-ever 12-team playoff on Monday.

It marked the second straight time the Buckeyes (14–2) won a College Football Playoff crown under a new format. Day sees this latest one as unprecedented, however, in the 155-year history of college football.
