College Football Playoff Bracket 2024





Ryan Day could win a national title and a lot of their fan base still wants him fired because of "The Game"
 

Marcus Freeman offers inspiring message as first Black coach to reach college football national championship​


Notre Dame, behind third-year head coach Marcus Freeman, is moving on to the College Football Playoff National Championship after securing a thrilling 27-24 win over Penn State in the 2025 Orange Bowl semifinal. This will be the first time that the Fighting Irish, who are the first team in the sport's history to win two bowl games in a single postseason, compete for a national championship since 2012.

Freeman is making history of his own, too, as he will become the first Black coach to lead his team into a Division I college football national title game when the ball is kicked on Monday, Jan. 20 in Atlanta.

Freeman, whose father is Black and mother is South Korean, is also the first coach of Asian descent to compete in the CFP.

"I've said this before: I don't ever want to take attention away from the team," Freeman said after the Orange Bowl. "It is an honor, and I hope all coaches -- minorities, Black, Asian, white, it doesn't matter, great people -- continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this. But this ain't about me. This is about us. We're going to celebrate what we've done because it's so special."

One hell of a game last night. If you missed ND/PENN and you’re a football fan, you missed one hell of a treat.

He sounds like one of those "minority coalition" types...
 
Like I have said before, I really don't give a rat's ass who is in the college playoffs, but anybody who beat the University of Texas is fine with me.
