The market resolves to Yes if Notre Dame reaches the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. It resolves to No if they do not.

The outcome is Yes if Villanova wins the 2026-27 NCAA Division I men's basketball national championship. The outcome is No if any other team wins that title. Readers often mistake the linked Rome game for the decisive event, but only the final national championship matters.
