College GameDay is heading to South Bend for one of the biggest games of the 2026 college football season. The crew will be on-location for Notre Dame’s clash against No. 1 Miami.
It’ll be College GameDay’s first trip to South Bend since covering Notre Dame vs. Indiana on December 20, 2024.

Week 10 was no doubt a tough choice for GameDay. Next Saturday features perhaps the Slate of the Year with excellent games such as BYU/Utah, Alabama/LSU, Kentucky/Tennessee and Ole Miss/Georgia, to name a few.
Notre Dame is 7-1 on the season after a slow start against Navy turned into a rout in the second half. The Fighting Irish have been tested just once this season — and it didn’t exactly go their way. BYU beat the Fighting Irish in a battle that came down to the wire in Provo, Utah, 28-24.
Like Notre Dame, Miami’s schedule has been a bit of a cakewalk thus far. Still, there’s an argument to be made the Hurricanes are the most talented team in college football with Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney leading Mario Cristobal’s offense. Miami has beaten every opponent it has faced by 8 or more points. Only Florida State has given the Hurricanes much of a challenge thus far.
Unlike Notre Dame, Miami has still yet to play its Week 9 matchup against North Carolina. The Hurricanes and Tar Heels are set to face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
