Irish Breakdown has an all Rapid Fire show to preview Monday's national championship football game between Notre Dame and Ohio State. Some of today's topics include:
* Fill-in the blank...You are most confident in BLANK going into the national championship game.
* Fill-in the blank...Notre Dame needs to play its BLANK game to beat Ohio State.
* If the game comes down to one possession at the end of the game Monday night...who are you more confident in: Riley Leonard or Will Howard?
* Leonard said before the playoffs that he hasn’t had a signature moment yet in his career. What would you say is Leonard’s signature moment to this point?
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Riley Leonard says Marcus Freeman has been playing the last two Notre Dame losses to Ohio State in the football facilities this week.
* College football writer Bruce Feldman has a good article on Notre Dame up on The Athletic. Feldman talked to several coaches who have coached against the Irish this season.
-We react to comments from a defensive backs coach who coached against the Irish in the playoffs about the quality of Notre Dame's coaching.
-We react to another comment from a coach about how the Irish self-scout offensively.
-We react to a comment from a defensive coordinator who faced the Irish in the playoffs about the Irish offensive line.
* Has Notre Dame ended its big game narrative or is that still riding on what happens against Ohio State?
* Fill-in the blank...This is Notre Dame’s biggest game since BLANK.
* Who will you feel more differently about if the Irish win Monday night: Marcus Freeman, Brian Kelly or Jack Swarbrick?
* If ND wins it all Monday, do you Buy or Sell a Freeman/Leonard statue?
* The record TV viewership for a national championship game is 33.4 million for Ohio State vs Oregon in 2014. Last year’s Michigan vs Washington game drew 25 million. Will ND vs Ohio State be higher than the 33.4, lower than the 25 or somewhere in between?

Rapid Fire Topics Include:
NBC Sports announces Notre Dame's "Here Come The Irish" series on Peacock will be extended for an eighth episode covering the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and national championship. It will be released Feb. 6. The first seven episodes are all out now. Scale of 1-10 How excited are you?
Jeremiah Smith and Leonard Moore are the two highest graded freshmen this season according to Pro Football Focus. How do you see this matchup playing out?
Notre Dame Athletics posted a “Paint Atlanta Green” graphic today. There is no chance the Irish wear green on Monday right?
ESPN’s Heather Dinich reported today that the CFP will likely not make any changes to the format for the 25 season. Changes likely coming for 26 though. The reason being they would need unanimous approval from all the conference commissioners and Notre Dame and that is probably not going to happen. Jesse if you were a conference commissioner what would your vote be?
Did you know that #Rams QB Matthew Stafford has the 4TH BEST PASSER RATING in #NFL history in the playoffs with a 103.0 rating.
