Keep I believe that for major scheduled sports championships in the coming year like this, or
Super Bowl LII, or closer to home,
105th Grey Cup, we generally default to keep. If you're basing this on CRYSTAL, it states: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This is certain to take place. And a major NCAA football championship at a major venue like this is notable. To be sure, that notability isn't currently supported by references in this case, but to delete this bare bones article only means recreating it later, and there is already pertinent info on the venue and date, etc.

Also, not to pile on, but with a statement like "game has not begun yet," the nominator seems to believe we can only have articles on championship games when play is underway, which is clearly not so.

Weak keep. Personally, I wouldn't have created this article this soon, but, it's an event that we know will definitely happen, and it's less than 12 months away, so I have no issue with it staying. On the other hand, if someone wanted to
WP:BOLDly redirect it until we at least know who's going to play in it, I wouldn't have a problem with that, either.
