College GameDay will be in South Bend, Indiana, next weekend.

In a battle between top-10 teams in the AP Top 25 Poll, the ESPN college football pregame show will be in The Crossroads of America to preview the matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame.

The Buckeyes and Irish will both enter the Week 4 matchup undefeated. Ohio State defeated Indiana, (FCS) Youngstown State and Western Kentucky in its first three regular-season contests, while Notre Dame has beaten Navy, (FCS) Tennessee State, NC State and Central Michigan.

Ohio State is 38-18 all-time when GameDay is on campus for one of its games. The team's latest victory was a 21-10 win over Notre Dame in the 2022 season opener, and its most recent defeat was a 42-41 loss to Georgia in the CFP semifinal.
