The day that all college football fans have been waiting for is here: the BCS National Championship between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Notre Dame enters the game as the top-ranked team in the country, looking to complete an undefeated season with a win tonight. Head coach Brian Kelly has turned the Notre Dame football program around, and a title would be the final piece to that puzzle.

Alabama wants a repeat of last season, when it took home the title with a win over LSU. The Crimson Tide are 12-1 and come into tonight's game battle-tested and with championship-game experience.
