Penn State's James Franklin jabs at Notre Dame ahead of CFP matchup: 'Everybody should be in a conference'

Before his Nittany Lions take on the Fighting Irish for a spot in the national title game, Penn State head coach James Franklin was blunt about Notre Dame not playing in a conference. 

Notre Dame is one of three teams that play an independent schedule in the FBS, but the College Football Playoff expansion has led Franklin to believe every team should be in a conference. 

It didn't matter that Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was right next to him during a joint press conference Wednesday.
