During the CFP National Championship vs. Notre Dame, Pat McAfee had a mini NSFW rant after Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith's TD.

Pat McAfee Show co-host Ty Schmit was on-hand for the College Football Playoff national championship game between Ohio State and Notre Dame and was decked out in his ‘Fake Lou Holtz’ gear on the sideline.

McAfee was joined by his cast from ESPN's daily program, "The Pat McAfee Show," for a live sideline alt-cast experience called "Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show," which aired on ESPN2 during the national title game.

Kirk Herbstreit addressed his tears that were seen on the ESPN broadcast after Ohio State won the national title, when he revealed his wife, Ally, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Pat McAfee suggests college football should honor Nick Saban by renaming the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy after him.

The Ohio State Buckeyes scored on their opening drive of the College Football Playoff championship as Will Howard hit Jeremiah Smith on a creative play that allowed him to basically walk into the end zone. It was the exact opposite of what Riley Leonard had just gone through.

So leave it to ESPN's Pat McAfee to have a little too much fun by bringing in a Lou Holtz impersonator during a sit-down interview with Ohio State and Notre Dame coaches Ryan Day and Marcus Freeman. "Before we get you out of here, there's somebody who has a question," said McAfee, gesturing to the other side of the room.

In 2024, Pat McAfee donated $1.15 million to charities and awarded $620,000 to participants through his College GameDay field goal kicking contest, according to the Pat McAfee Show CFO, Phil Mains.

Ryan Day says he hasn't spoken with Lou Holtz since the two went at it in 2023. He did during a segment on College GameDay... sort of.

Kirk Herbstreit joined Pat McAfee and discussed Notre Dame's staying power as a college football force after national championship game defeat.

Aside from the challenges in his personal life, Herbstreit also revealed that his emotional moment stemmed from also being happy for head coach Ryan Day, who just a couple of months ago had fans and analysts calling for him to be fired following the team's loss to Michigan.
