National Championship Trophy To Be Displayed at BYU/Utah Game

SALT LAKE CITY- It’s finally game day at Rice-Eccles Stadium as the Utah Utes and BYU Cougars are set to do battle at 8:15 p.m. MT. This storied rivalry has a rich history that has featured so many memorable matchups, but this 2024 edition has upped the stakes with undefeated BYU sitting at #9 in the CFP rankings, firmly in position to make their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance.

The occasion warranted the presence of the National Championship Trophy, awarded each year to the winner of the College Football Playoff, as it takes a tour around the country before it is handed to the National Champion in January. The Trophy will be on display at Rice-Eccles Stadium during the game tonight, giving Ute and Cougar fans alike the opportunity to get an up-close look at college football’s most prized possession.

The #NationalChampionship Trophy is ready for a Beehive State rivalry game in the @Big12Conference!
