We’re one day away from the national championship. On Monday night, No. 3 Ohio State (7-0) will take on No. 1 Alabama (12-0) to compete for a title.

On Sunday morning, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and Alabama head coach Nick Saban met with reporters for the final time before the two teams meet in Miami on Monday night. While emotions are running high leading up to the biggest game of the season, the two head coaches aren’t providing any bulletin board material for the other team.

The two head coaches were both available at the same time on Sunday morning to preview Monday night’s clash. The Buckeyes got to the title game by defeating Clemson 49-28 in the Sugar Bowl and Alabama beat Notre Dame 31-14 in the Rose Bowl.

Here’s what the two head coaches had to say ahead of Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game:
