It's here. Game week. College Football Playoff game week for No. 7 seed Notre Dame (11-1) vs. No. 10 Indiana (11-1) at what promises to be an electric (if not a bit chilled) Notre Dame Stadium on Friday. What might the scene be like? The weather? The tickets? The everything?

We start our Pod discussing Indiana, arguably the feel-good story of the college football season. Breaking news brings a discussion about Marcus Freeman and his three-year contract extension. Specifically, why now?

Our guest spotlights brings aboard Indiana football beat writer Michael Niziolek of the Bloomington (Ind.) Herald-Times, who answers the overriding question of how did these Hoosiers get so fast so soon under head coach Curt Cignetti.

Pod of Old goes really, really old with a recap and (somewhat) deep dive into the first-ever December game at Notre Dame Stadium in 1944. Who remembers that one?

We close, as usual with one hot take and predictions for Friday's game. Have a listen.
