During his press conference before the College Football Playoff semifinal, Penn State head coach James Franklin stated all teams, including Notre Dame, should be in the conference. Many fans were in agreement when news surfaced that the Irish gained $20 million by reaching the CFP national championship.

Notre Dame won't need to look too far for bulletin board material before it's matchup with Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship game next week. Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have already given the Fighting Irish more than enough.

Northern Illinois is the only football team to defeat Notre Dame this season. On Jan. 20, NIU coach Thomas Hammock will be rooting for Notre Dame in the CFP championship.
