Notre Dame at home in October is the one I circled in January. Deseret putting it first is not a hot take.

Deseret ranks the 2026 slate. Notre Dame is 1. Utah Tech is last.
Jay Drew / Deseret, Aug 24. Annual difficulty ranking. Notre Dame in Provo in October is the top of the list. Utah Tech on Sep 5 is the bottom. The piece also says this is the most-anticipated season in school history and that No. 14 BYU has gone 23-4 the last two years.

If you think Arizona or Utah should sit higher, say why here. Do not start a second schedule thread.

Utah at Utah is still November. The Holy War topic stays for that week. This thread is the slate.

Arizona week 2 on FOX is the trap. Ranking it under ND is fine. Sleeping on it is not.
