What happened: ESPN's College GameDay broadcast from Provo, Utah on Saturday ahead of the Week 7 matchup between unbeaten BYU and No. 2 Notre Dame. Campus crowds targeted quarterback CJ Carr, Notre Dame's 2024 upset loss to Northern Illinois, and the Fighting Irish's 2025 postseason bowl opt-out.

Why it matters: Saturday marks only the second time the pregame show has visited Provo, ending a 17-year gap since its first stop during Pat McAfee's 2009 rookie season with the Indianapolis Colts and before Nick Saban won his first Alabama national title. With BYU entering unbeaten and Notre Dame ranked second nationally, the head-to-head result carries direct College Football Playoff positioning stakes for both programs.

What to watch: Notre Dame and BYU kick off their Week 7 top-10 matchup in Provo on Saturday with unbeaten records and playoff positioning on the line.
