"Don't you guys dare touch that snow": CFB world make feelings clear over white capped Notre Dame before CFP Round 1

On Friday, the first game of the College Football Playoff will be held, as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host state rivals the Indiana Hoosiers.

This game is likely to bring a large and exciting television audience to the game. However, there is another element to this game that will impact it—the weather. The official Notre Dame X account (@FightingIrish) posted a picture of the game day.

Here is how college football fans responded to the snow-covered field on social media. These fans are pleased that a playoff game could be a snow game, which will only enhance the experience.

"Don’t you guys dare touch that snow."

"I like it!!!! Keep snowing!!!! Who’s doing snow angels?" another fan said.

"Exactly what we hoped for with some of these home playoff games mid to late December 👌🏼 ❄️," another fan uttered.

These fans want to see a southern-based team play in these conditions:

"I wish an SEC team had to play in this," a fan said.

"Can't wait to someday see the likes of Alabama have to play a road football game in a place like Boise in December. Blue turf, cold, snow, no visiting fans in the stadium whatsoever," a user said.

"The SEC mind cannot comprehend. They've never played in any temp lower than 60 degrees," another user commented.

Notre Dame vs Indiana: comparison of seasons

Notre Dame Fighting Irish come into their game with the Indiana Hoosiers as 6.5-point favorites.

This season has been nearly perfect for the Fighting Irish, who went 11-1 in the regular season, with the only defeat being the historic week two loss to the Northern Illinois Huskies. Apart from that, Marcus Freeman's side has been one of the best in college football.

On the contrary, the Hoosiers have been seen as one of the surprises this season. The Hoosiers have never had a great football team, and for the first time in school history, they won more than 10 games and also ended the regular season with an 11-1 record.

The Hoosiers' reward for this season was not only a spot in the CFP but a game against its state rivals, Notre Dame. While they come as underdogs, at this stage in the season, anything can happen.
