Predicting where ESPN’s popular college football pregame show College GameDay will go each week this season. Find out if your school will be a host.

College GameDay is one of the more encompassing college traditions that makes the sport unique. From Lee Corso’s costumes he wears making his weekly picks to a chance for fans to show their support in front of a national audience with GameDay signs, the show has had some great moments.

Those moments have been at powerhouse programs like Ohio State, Alabama, Florida and more, but now the show is giving the non-traditional powers some love too.

From 2013 through 2015, the GameDay crew visited several non-FBS schools. Delaware State hosted in 2013 and 2014, Yale and Harvard were highlighted in 2014, and last year James Madison was a host site for their match against Richmond.

If College GameDay were to travel to an FCS school this year, North Dakota State would be a likely stop, however, I think this year the show stays with FBS level coverage.

The college opener this season, which is in Sydney, Australia featuring California and Hawaii, would be a great place to go to, but it would seem a  little unlikely for international location, at least for now.

Plus, there are more exciting games to pick from during Week 1. But perhaps the show could have it both ways by adding a rare additional stop by going to Australia?

Here are the likely host locations that College GameDay will visit for the 2016 season. They feature the biggest games of the week while also trying to reach a wide range of schools and conferences at the same time.
