College GameDay was in East Lansing for the game between Michigan State and Oregon so where will ESPN be taking their pregame show this weekend?

It wouldn’t right without starting off your Saturday and 12-hour binge-fest of college football without starting by tuning in for ESPN’s three-hour pregame show College GameDay.

Rece Davis has stepped into Chris Fowler’s role as the host of the iconic show and hasn’t missed a beat. After visiting Arlington, TX for the Alabama-Wisconsin game in Week 1 and East Lansing for the Michigan State-Oregon in Week 2, College GameDay is headed to Tuscaloosa in Week 3 for the game between Alabama and Ole Miss.

For the second time in three weeks to start the season, Alabama is part of GameDay, so that will go over well for the football fans who have a case of Crimson Tide fatigue.

Had Stanford not lost to Northwestern in Week 1, then the USC-Stanford game would have been an attractive option and if Auburn didn’t look so bad in their overtime win against FCS opponent Jacksonville State, their road trip into Death Valley to take on LSU would have been an awesome choice.

Nevertheless, this game between the Rebels and the Tide should be a fun one. Ole Miss is averaging 74.5 points in their first two games and Alabama may have the nation’s best defense this year so it’ll be strength on strength as the Rebels look to make it two straight wins against their SEC West foe.
