In preparation for the game, EA Sports has ranked the top 25 best home-field advantages in the country, and Rice-Eccles Stadium made it to number 18.
The Utah Utes have a reputation for having a strong home-field advantage, and this year was no exception.

In 2023, they had a 6-1 home record, with their only loss coming against then-No. 8 Oregon. This was the only Big 12 program to be included in the rankings.
Rice-Eccles Stadium has a capacity of 51,444 and was ranked ahead of famous stadiums like Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and Kinnick Stadium. Other notable stadiums that made the top 25 list include Kyle Field, Bryant-Denny Stadium, and Tiger Stadium.
