Bruce Feldman · Jan 15, 2025

Feldman said Ohio State would be a sizable favorite over Notre Dame in the national championship game and suggested Ohio State could rush for 250 yards or throw for 300 (or both). He also predicted Quinn Ewers could land as a second-to-fourth-round NFL pick and expects Arch Manning to be a major 2025 storyline.

I do think it would be a sizable upset if Notre Dame would win this game.

  • Quinn Ewers to be picked “a second or third round pick” (picks 65–96)

    I wouldn't be surprised if some somebody got word to them that, like, hey. You can be a second or third round pick.
