ESPN began its College
GameDay tradition on Nov. 13,
1993 at Notre Dame, when the
No. 2-ranked Fighting Irish defeated No. 1-ranked Florida
State 31-24.
Ironically, with its appearance on ESPN's College GameDay at Michigan this past
weekend, Notre Dame tied
Florida State for sixth place in
that category with 24 apiece.
USC is next with 20.
Until last season, Notre
Dame had never been on
GameDay more than twice
in one season, but in 2012 it
appeared four times. Against
Stanford, it was the host
school for the first time since
the USC clash in 2005. The
Irish were also the GameDay
visitor at Oklahoma and USC
last year, plus the BCS National
Championship Game versus
Alabama.
Entering the contest at Michigan, Notre Dame was 11-12 in
its GameDay appearances —
4-4 at home, 7-7 on the road
and 0-1 at the BCS neutral site.
Here are the schools with
the five most appearances:
