Overall, I think the article is in pretty good shape. There are some minor things I came across when going through the article and I did my best to organize by the sections they're in. -- Zoo (talk) 17:26, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Infobox

 * Can you find a source for the anthem being pre-recorded so that you can replace the hidden note in the infobox?


 * Add halftime show info to replace hidden note if possible

Lede

 * Wikilink EST


 * Change dominating to defeating. It's more neutral, even if it wasn't a close game.


 * Maybe instead of the second efn, link to the article in the sentence and link to the specified section within the article (College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS)

Host selection

 * CFP organizers announced that they would move the release of final rankings --> add "the" before final


 * You may want to update ref #8 to this as the current ref link is for 2023

Imapct of Covid

 * I suggest maybe updating the total attendance ref to this. It both confirms the attendance listed in the article, as well as stating that the attendance was 23% of capacity which can be updated in the same section of the article which currently states the percent was approximately 20%.

1st half

 * Add a space between the game summary and 1st half subsections.


 * Alabama started their next drive well, with a 12-yard pass --> Alabama started their next drive with a 12-yard pass


 * Alabama scored even more quickly on this drive --> Alabama scored even quicker on this drive


 * Ohio State ended their final drive of the first half --> can just say final drive of the half, since the section is about the first half

Comments
Are you going to be able to make the edits? I'd hate to have to fail this when it's so close to passing. -- Zoo (talk) 18:46, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @ZooBlazer I believe everything is taken care of, ready for another look. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 21:02, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @PCN02WPS Everything looks good except ref #9 (formerly 7) is still dead and didn't get an archive. Fix that and I'll pass the article. -- Zoo (talk) 21:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @ZooBlazer Totally missed that one - it's been taken care of now. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 19:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
