“I’m trying to remain neutral,” Redfearn said.
After TCU defeated Michigan and Georgia outlasted Ohio State on New Year's Eve, Redfearn had a t-shirt custom-made with both TCU and Georgia on the front and the logo of the College Football Playoff national championship game on the back.
She says she never imagined that two schools with such close ties to her family would ever play against each other, much less for the national title.
“Everyone’s eyes are going to be glued to that TV and I’m going to be one of them,” Redfearn said. “It’s just all good. All good things will happen on Monday night.”
