College GameDay is in Harrisonburg, Virginia for Villanova vs. James Madison. Let’s see how the Dukes’ fanbase did with their College GameDay signs.

College GameDay derives its energy from the throngs of screaming fans behind them. The excitement of the fans, students, and alumni that come to campus hours before the game to represent their school on the national stage is vital to the show’s success. College GameDay signs are, of course, a large part of that. The more a school is excited GameDay is there the chances are better they will bring the show to a new level. Schools that are off-the-beaten-path or smaller are naturally more excited.

New York City is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It is a huge city with almost anything else in the world to do besides showing up in Times Square — a place New Yorkers famously despise more than anywhere else — early in the morning. It was somewhat predictably underwhelming for many viewers.

College GameDay coming to James Madison University is a huge deal in Harrisonburg, Virginia. It seems like the whole school came out. It is a sea of purple and College GameDay signs. This is no real surprise. FCS schools are always some of the best shows. This is GameDay’s ninth time broadcasting from a non-FBS school. They were last at James Madison in 2015 for a game against Richmond.

James Madison is the defending FCS champion and is the top-ranked team in the country. They enter this matchup with the No. 11 Villanova Wildcats (4-2) undefeated. The last time GameDay was in town the Duke Dogs lost to Richmond. Can they get the job done this time?
