Today's Rapid Fire topics include:
* On a scale of 1 to 10...How surprised are you that Notre Dame stayed ahead of both Texas A&M and Indiana in both polls this week?
* College Football Playoff projections out this week have Notre Dame as the No. 9 seed playing No. 8 Tennessee in the first round. The winner would get No. 1 Oregon in the first round. We have thoughts on that.
* We hear Marcus Freeman's comments on guard Billy Schrauth returning for the Irish against Navy and discuss what it could mean going forward.
* We hear and discuss Riley Leonard's comments on what's changed for the Irish quarterback during his current run of hot play.
* After beating LSU Saturday night, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko had this to say: “This is a real program. It’s not fake. It’s not a politician running this program, talking fast and BS-ing everybody. This is a real program and for all the recruits out there, this is a real place.” Was Elko talking about Brian Kelly, Jimbo Fisher or both of them?
* One of the most insane endings to the Bears – Commanders game yesterday when Jayden Daniels 52-yard Hail Mary deflected into the hands of Noah Brown in the end zone with no time on the clock. What did you think about Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson...who was taunting the crowd in Washington during the play....and then ultimately tipped the ball to Brown?
* When Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman ended Friday’s game one of the World Series with a grand slam...Fox announcer Joe Davis copied Vin Scully’s iconic “she is gone” call from game one of the 1988 series that Scully used for Kirk Gibson’s walk-off home run. Was Davis’ call a rip-off or appropriate sampling of Scully?
