Danny Kanell, Tom Fornelli and Chip Patterson discuss the major storylines around the entire playoff (2:00) before jumping into Alabama-Notre Dame, starting with a discussion as to whether you need great defenses to win championships (6:30) and the challenge of stopping DeVonta Smith and the high-flying Alabama attack (14:00).
