On a frigid Thursday in the Midwest where snow ripped though South Bend, thoughts from the college football world moved towards two weeks from now.
Dec. 20 or Dec. 21 will be when Notre Dame plays host to an opponent still to-be-determined in the first ever College Football Playoff game on campus.
Will that game be against a team from the South? And just how cold and how much snow might we expect for the South Bend area just days before Christmas?
