From hate to great: Fueled by "outside noise," Ohio State dominated the College Football Playoff.

Following a 34-23 loss to Ohio State in Monday's College Football Playoff title game, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman told reporters, "We can't make mistakes. It falls on my shoulders. And as the head coach, we have to be better prepared for this moment."

With everything on the line, in the final minute of the college football season, the Ohio State rookie came up big. 

Ohio State's national championship celebrations hit a momentary bump.

The emotions boiled over for Kirk Herbstreit after Ohio State won the national championship on Monday.

Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from Ohio State's 34-23 win over Notre Dame to win the national championship.

The reactions came fast and furious when Ryan Day led Ohio State to a national championship after coming under intense scrutiny following the Buckeyes' loss to Michigan at the end of the regular season. 

Coco Gauff's trip to Melbourne Park — and her 13-match winning streak that dated to late last season — ended in the quarterfinals. The 2023 U.S. Open champion was eliminated by No. 11 Paula Badosa of Spain 7-5, 6-4.

Chelsea won for the first time in six Premier League matches when they beat relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at home on Monday with goals from defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella plus winger Noni Madueke.

Those narratives seem silly now, even preposterous. That loss to Michigan at The Horseshoe feels like an eternity ago.
