Rapid Fire topics include:

* Fill-in the blank...Pro Football Focus asked the question “Who has the best secondary in college football” yesterday. Their multiple-choice options were Oregon, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame and it’s BLANK that the Irish are on that list.

* Miami was supposed to be on Notre Dame’s schedule this season, but the Hurricanes over scheduled so that game was moved to a future date. On a scale of 1 to 10...How much more attractive would the Irish home schedule look if Miami was on it?

* Fox has released its Friday night college football schedule for the upcoming season. Here are the matchups:

Arizona at Kansas State

Illinois at Nebraska

Washington at Rutgers

Michigan State at Oregon

Northwestern at Maryland

Oregon at Purdue

Rutgers at USC

Iowa at UCLA

UCLA at Washington

Purdue at Michigan State

Utah at UCF

And they’ll close the season with the Mountain West Championship Game

* How intriguing is that schedule?

* How would you feel if you’re UCLA, Washington and Oregon who are moving to the Big 10 and you’re going to be playing twice on Friday night in your first season in the conference?
