If you think Notre Dame football was getting some hate before this weekend, the fact that ESPN is doing their College Gameday show in Provo for the BYU game this weekend against the Irish probably increased that metric.

Oh and… Notre Dame is now No. 1 in the ESPN Football Power Index, so I’m sure that won’t make fans crazy at all. In all honesty, the FPI has some weird stuff going on here, so be prepared for more verbal assaults thrown Notre Dame’s way.
