Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

• Buy or sell the fact that the Irish are still behind Penn State in this week’s version of the CFP Rankings.

• The video showing the Cal equipment manager tackling a guy who tried to steal a helmet is BLANK

• Do you BUY or SELL the fact that the 5 seed has the better path in the CFP? If you buy this, is former Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick a genius for guaranteeing Notre Dame this spot if they are having a good season?

• Notre Dame men lost by one in OT last night but the bigger story is sophomore PG Markus Burton going down early in the game with an apparent knee injury. The prognosis is still unknown at this time. Scale of 1-10 your worry for this team if Burton is on the shelf for a considerable amount of time.

• The Dodgers signed Blake Snell, one of the top pitchers in MLB free agency to a 9 figure deal. Scale of 1-10 the chances the Dodgers are repeating this year.

• The fact that the Cubs have one free agent signing at this point and it is a reliever from your Guardians is BLANK

• On the eve of Thanksgiving, what are you most thankful for this college football season?

Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* Since the week after the season is now a recruiting dead period, coaches can’t stay in California to recruit. That means the Irish don’t need to end the season in California anymore as they’ve done since 199 when they finish at either USC or Stanford. We hear and discuss comments from Marcus Freeman about the possibility of playing at home in the future for Thanksgiving weekend.

* We put the College Football Playoff contenders into tiers.

* On a scale of 1 to 10....What’s your confidence Notre Damewill be the No. 4 seed in this week’s CFP rankings?

* Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden was asked Monday night if he has to amp his guys up to play USC. He dropped a Godfather 2 reference. We discuss. 

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Irish special teams coordinator Marty Biagi says punter James Rendell will get at least one more year of eligibility at Notre Dame.

* Do you Buy or Sell this week’s Clemson – South Carolina game as a play-in game for an at-large playoff berth?

* Tony Kornheiser says Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer should be on the hot seat after losing to Oklahoma. Do you Buy or Sell it?

* NFL teams eat 3,600-4,300 Uncrustables per week. How many Uncrustables have you eaten in your life?
