No. 8 BYU's home game against No. 2 Notre Dame this weekend will be the first Top 10 matchup ever played at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo. The game adds to Utah's history of hosting major college football contests, though most previous high-stakes games occurred at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

BYU is 6-0 and ranked in the Top 10 for the first time since 2021. Notre Dame enters 6-1 and ranked second nationally. ESPN College GameDay will broadcast from campus for the second time this season, having previously appeared for BYU's matchup against Kansas State.

The game is BYU's biggest home contest since joining the Big 12 Conference. Tickets sold out within hours of the rankings creating the Top 10 matchup.
