Pro Football Hall of Famer and BYU quarterback Steve Young will be ESPN’s guest picker when College GameDay broadcasts from Provo ahead of the unbeaten Cougars’ Top-10 matchup with Notre Dame. The selection was announced by analyst Pat McAfee, after former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy had said he was not contacted for the role. It will be only the second College GameDay broadcast from BYU; the previous visit was in 2009.

The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
