What to know

  • ESPN confirmed College GameDay will broadcast from Notre Dame for the Nov. 7 home game against Miami, the show's 13th visit to South Bend.
  • The matchup is a rematch of last year's Week 1 game, which Miami won 27-24 and later used to leapfrog Notre Dame into the CFP despite Notre Dame holding the higher ranking for most of the season.
  • Entering the week, Miami is ranked No. 1 and Notre Dame No. 4 (previously reported as No. 6), with the game carrying direct 2026 CFP implications.
  • Miami's exact record (7-1 or 8-0) depended on its Saturday night result against North Carolina before traveling to South Bend.
