FOX Sports college football writers Laken Litman, RJ Young and Michael Cohen preview the CFP National Championship matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame.

OSU’s devastating offense ranks Top 10 on each side of the ball in success rate, EPA/play and marginal efficiency. The main areas of weakness on offense are the Ohio State O-line’s ability to handle extra rushers, ranking 78th with a 9.2% blitz down sack rate, and a somewhat elevated 10.2% blown run block rate that checks in at 94th nationally.

Aside from that, ESPN also has its SP+ model and that too favors Ohio State. According to the model run by analytic guru Bill Connelly, the Buckeyes are favored to win the CFP title game, 27.6-21.7 (subscription required).
