Another awful production job on national TV. Sounds like McElroy and Joe Tessitore are trying to scream over a crowd that’s not really all that loud.
Ohio State has opened as 9.5 point favorites over the Irish. Only two college championship games have had as high or higher a spread - Georgia over TCU in 2022 (13.5 points) and Alabama over Ohio State in 2020 (9.5 points). Both were blowout wins for the favorites (58 and 28 point margins, respectively).
