It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesca podcast on the Bet Rivers Network, brought to you by Casamigos Tequila.

Casamigos Tequila is brought to you by those who drink it.

We come to you on this football Friday as we get ready for the postseason on the Mike Francesa channel on the Bet Rivers Network on YouTube.

So the regular season is in the books.

We get ready now for really a couple of weeks of great action,

starting with games Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

We still have a game tonight, of course, in college football after Notre Dame's thrilling

win last night, which moves them

into the championship game. It'll be Ohio State in Texas. Ohio State is six-point favorite.

I like Ohio State in this game. I haven't got any playoff games wrong yet in college.

I didn't pick the Oregon Ohio State game. I've gotten the others right.

I've picked Notre Dame to get to the final.

I'm picking Ohio State here to join them in the championship game a week for Monday.

I just think they're a better team. And it'll be fascinating to see what Texas does,

because they're a zone team predominantly. It's going to be hard to play zone against

Jeremiah Smith. Did they come up with a special gimmick defense for him or is he going to wreck them

the way he has wrecked teams in this postseason? Let's see how that works out. This

evening, I still think Ohio State though, pound for pound, is the best team. And Texas is as talented as any team in the country. They have great players. I just don't think they've been a great team and I worry about their quarterback. He's hit a miss. I mean, they were very lucky to beat Arizona State. Lucky. And they got a great call on a non-targeting call. So they're going to have to play a lot better to beat Ohio State. But that's this evening. And then we get to NFL football tomorrow. Remember the Monday night game. The

Ram game has been moved because of the tragic fires in California, it has been moved, has been

moved to Arizona, to that beautiful facility in Arizona, the Rams and the Vikings.

That's the Monday night game.
