8. Notre Dame at Texas A&M (Aug. 31)
The fans owe college football’s schedule makers for this one. Notre Dame and Texas A&M open the 2024 season at Kyle Field where former Duke quarterback Riley Leonard, now the starter for the Fighting Irish, faces off with his former coach, Mike Elko, who leads the Aggies. Notre Dame has been a unanimous choice in various way-too-early polls, but not Texas A&M. The jury is still out on the Aggies in their first season with a new leader after so many transfer portal departures. This is where Texas A&M could put itself on the map against a quality opponent behind a sellout crowd in College Station.
