This is the second straight week “GameDay” will be broadcast from the state of Indiana after the show was in Bloomington for the Indiana Hoosiers-Minnesota Golden Gophers matchup last week. Before that the show was in Utah for two consecutive weekends.

There is a lot on the line this weekend. Miami is the top team in the nation, but they’re going to be without Heisman hopeful Malachi Toney. The Irish are ranked No. 4 in the AP poll and No. 6 in the Coaches Poll, but were only No. 11 when the first College Football Playoff rankings were released.
