College football is finally here and so is one of the sports’ greatest traditions: ESPN College GameDay. Where will the show travel to each week?
One of the biggest honors a college football program and university can receive from late August to early December is being in the presence of ESPN’s most popular Saturday show: College GameDay.
For those who don’t know what College GameDay is, each week in the college football season, the show selects the biggest or most meaningful game of the week and travels to the home team’s campus or city to host three hours of pre-football analysis and entertainment. It is hosted by Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Hebstreit and Desmond Howard — along with many other popular personnel.
Last season, and for the first time ever, College GameDay kicked off the year on a Thursday as they surprised the college football world with a Thursday night edition for the Ohio State Buckeyes matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers.
As we now know the first unveiling of the AP Top 25 poll, which ultimately has a say in what games are deemed big enough to be considered, Saturday Blitz takes a crack at their predictions for the 2018 season and the show’s destinations.
With Week 1 already announced and Week 0 done and over with, let’s get started on the others.
