Enticing Fiesta Bowl matchup features No. 5 Notre Dame, No. 9 Oklahoma State

The 51st Fiesta Bowl is a meeting of two teams that have never faced each other in football, No. 5 Notre Dame and No. 9 Oklahoma State on New Year's Day at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Notre Dame just missed making the final four of the College Football Playoff, while Oklahoma State fell short by just inches thanks to a touchdown-saving tackle from Baylor that, if not made, would have won the Big-12 Championship Game for the Cowboys and given them a strong case for the playoff. Instead, the Fiesta Bowl got what is on paper an enticing matchup between two top programs, the Fighting Irish (11-1) and Cowboys (11-2).
