Jess Smetana (Sports Illustrated) and Andrew & Alex (Notre Dame Our Blogger) help empty out a listener mailbag. What Big Ten team would make the best annual opponent? How many more playoff appearances for Brian Kelly at Notre Dame and also why is everyone so obsessed about the playoff? Dream uniforms, best and worst games, Michigan scenarios and more.
