Irish are No. 4 in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25. Texas is No. 6. Duke, by the way, drew the defending national champion, South Carolina, on the road.

From the ACC:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For just the third time in program history, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Texas Longhorns are set to face off this fall.

On Wednesday, ESPN/ACC announced that Notre Dame will host Texas in the 2024 SEC/ACC Challenge on Thursday, Dec. 5 in South Bend. The game time and broadcast designation will be released at a later date.

This will be the first matchup between the two Power 5 schools in 27 years as they last faced each other on March 17, 1997 in the NCAA Championship Second Round, where Notre Dame won 86-83. With the overall series split at 1-1, the Irish have played both previous games in Austin, Texas and will host the Longhorns for the very first time this fall.

The Big 12 Tournament Champs, coached by Vic Schaefer, finished 33-5 last year as the Longhorns’ season came to a close in the Elite Eight after falling to NC State.
