Temple's 24-14 win over East Carolina last Thursday night, set up a top-25 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field on Halloween night between the 7-0 Owls and the 6-1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Temple is ranked No. 21 in the AP poll and No. 22 in the coaches poll.
The game has already been announced as a sell-out.
The exact site in Philadelphia for College Gameday is set for Independence Hall, according to the ESPN senior director of public relations.
. @CollegeGameDay will be live outside Independence Hall this weekend for Notre Dame at Temple.
