Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * We respond to Marcus Freeman's comments (Google them) on the job Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti has done in his first season. * Fill-in the blank....Penn State head coach James Franklin saying “everyone should be playing a conference championship” to be in the College Football Playoff is BLANK. * Longtime college football writer Andy Staples, who is currently with On3, had this to say about Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame hosting Indiana: ”This is a huge spot for Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman, who is finishing season three and still doesn’t have a signature win. This season probably would be considered a disappointment if Notre Dame didn’t advance at least to the quarterfinals. If Notre Dame can beat the Hoosiers, the Irish might provide a tough stylistic matchup for Georgia. But that’s not something anyone in South Bend needs to think about, because (Curt) Cignetti is going to have the Hoosiers ready.” -We share thoughts about Staples saying Freeman lacks a signature win and then discuss our thoughts on a potential Georgia matchup. * We have comments from Cignetti on why he thinks Indiana should be playing at home instead of on the road to start the playoffs. * On a scale of 1 to 10…What’s your confidence Notre Dame could nail a crucial kick like Clemson got Saturday night?

0:23.2	Here it is, baby.
0:24.3	Marcus Freeman on the job that IU head coach Kurt Signetti has done in his first season at Bloomington.
0:30.3	I mean, coach has done a wonderful job to take this program to win 11 games in the Big Ten and in a Big Ten season and to, you know,
0:41.0	have this team ready to make a run into playoffs. I mean, it's a credit to the coach. I didn't know
0:47.0	much about him. I took a minute and Googled him and looked at some of the things he's done in the
0:52.0	past that there's other places. I mean, he's won everywhere he's been.

So that's just my initial look at them. Obviously, we have a few days to really take a deep dive and figure out
1:30.3	a plan of attack as we get ready for a Friday game. So a couple of different things. One,

1:44.5	He didn't chuckle with the Google comments.
