Listener Jayden's Notre Dame Argument

As Championship Week is about to get underway, it's a Dear Andy & Ari show to get you ready for a huge weekend in College Football. While the fellas have been in support of the Canes in the Miami-Notre Dame debate, it's time to present the case for the Fighting Irish in the College Football Playoff. With solid quarterback play and perhaps the best running back in the nation, it's not crazy to think that Marcus Freeman's squad  could make a deep run in the CFP this season. Who do you think should get the nod? Notre Dame or Miami?
