(The Center Square) – There is a little more on the line Monday night when Ohio State plays Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff championship.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and new Indiana Gov. Mike Braun placed a wager on the game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta.
“As two powerhouse collegiate football teams battle it out on the gridiron in the College Football Playoff national championship, I am confident that the Ohio State Buckeyes will defeat Notre Dame and claim the national title,” DeWine said. “I am excited to engage in this friendly wager with Governor Braun, showcasing some of the best homemade buckeyes.”
DeWine is putting up famous buckeye candies from Marsha’s Homemade Buckeyes in Perrysburg. Braun has countered with a bundle of Indiana-made sweets, including items from South Bend Chocolate Co., headquartered in South Bend, the home of Notre Dame.
“I’m excited to join Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio in this friendly wager,” Braun said. “The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had an incredible run in this year’s College Football Playoffs, and I have no doubt they’re ready to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes and claim the national championship.”
