The award goes to the nation’s top defensive player. Which of those three has the best chance to win the award? * From a listener: Since Analysts can coach on the field now, do you Buy or Sell that Notre Dame should do whatever it takes to bring Harry Hiestand in on a limited role/ part time analyst to coach up the younger players. * Longtime college football writer Ralph Russo of the Associate Press looked at the last 10 years of preseason rankings to predict who will actually make it into this year’s 12-team College Football Playoff. The last 10 years say this: *4 of the 5 teams in the preseason AP top 5 will make it *2 teams ranked 6 through 10 will make it *One team ranked between 21 and 25 will make it *And three unranked teams will make it -We predict who will make it into this year’s 12-team CFP.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://ibstore.irishbreakdown.com/  Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com  Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com​ Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/irish-breakdown/id1485286986 Like and follow Irish Breakdown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishbreakdown Sign up for the FREE Irish Breakdown daily newsletter: https://www.subscribepage.com/irish-breakdown-newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

So ready for some rapid fire.

0:17.3

There's some really good ones in here.

0:18.7

I'm kind of pumped about this.

0:20.3

I'm happy.

0:20.7

I made you happy. Yeah, I know you are. So Andrew some really good ones in here. I'm kind of pumped about this. I'm happy. I made
