Today's Rapid Fire topics include: We start with Athlon's ranking of the top 10 coaches who have the best chance to win a national championship this season and where Irish head coach Marcus Freeman comes in on the list. We discuss which tight end has the bigger upside: current Irish freshman James Flanigan or this week's 2026 commit Ian Premer, Joel Klatt says Notre Dame vs Texas A&M is one of the 10 games that will shape the 2025 college football season, is the state of college football officiating worse now than ever, and will you watch the Deion Sanders Netflix series when it's released after the season?
