Where is ‘College GameDay’ this week? Location, schedule, guest picker for Week 4 on ESPN

The worst-kept secret in college football is finally out: "College GameDay" is heading to South Bend in Week 4 for the top-10 matchup between Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee and Co. haven't wanted for top-flight games in 2023, but the Sept. 23 meeting between the Fighting Irish and Buckeyes represents two of college football's most historic programs. And there's certainly no lack of storylines between Marcus Freeman's Notre Dame team and Ryan Day's Ohio State.

Freeman, a former Buckeye linebacker, will look to avenge last year's season-opening loss to Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. The team has an apparent upgrade at quarterback in Wake Forest transfer Sam Hartman: He already has completed 48 of 64 passes (75 percent) for 731 and 10 touchdowns to no interceptions. How he competes against the Buckeyes' defense (and compares to Ohio State starter Kyle McCord) will go a long way in how the Fighting Irish fare.

Here's everything you need to know about "College GameDay" as it previews the Notre Dame-Ohio State game:
