Other names that will be joining the watch party will be Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who won the National Championship at LSU last year. It will also feature North Carolina head coach Mack Brown, who’s coming off an 8-4 season with the school.

The watch party will start at 8 p.m. ET on Monday (right when the game starts) and will likely last for the entire game. We’ll have to see what other guests FOX decides to bring on during their party.
