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?
