Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman addressed the media Sunday after his team was officially announced as part of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff field. His Fighting Irish earned a home game as the No. 7 seed and will play the Indiana Hoosiers, who were seeded No. 10, led by head coach Curt Cignetti.
Cignetti led Indiana to an 11-1 record in his first year with the program. IU has already committed to a long-term extension, which is slated to keep him in Bloomington for eight more years.
