The first real installment of ESPN’s College GameDay is finally upon us and here’s how you can watch the Week 1 live stream online.
The band is back together. OK, so the band was back together in Week 0 when ESPN College GameDay made the trip to Orlando for the Miami vs. Florida season opener, but you get the idea.
Week 1 has an interesting slate of games, headlined by Oregon vs. Auburn at AT&T Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night which is the subject of the first real College GameDay of the season. The crew made the right choice with this one and should even have a legendary celebrity picker on hand (hint: it’s an Auburn alum).
The Tigers are coming into the season with high expectations, only because that’s what is going to allow Gus Malzahn to keep his job. He’s on the hottest seat in America heading into the season and he must do better than 8-4 if he wants to remain in charge. A win over Oregon would go a long way.
Oregon, on the other hand, is one of the rising programs under Mario Cristobal. The recruiting has been great, the offense is looking like it did in the Chip Kelly days and the defense is getting stronger. This would be an ideal win for the Ducks’ early playoff campaign.
Here’s how you can watch Week 1’s installment of ESPN College GameDay:
