Week 5 of the college football season is here, and ESPN’s “College GameDay” is headed to a clash between titans.
No. 4 Alabama (3-0) is hosting No. 1 Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, marking the first time the two programs have met in a game outside of the SEC championship or national championship game since 2020, when the Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs 41-24 at home.

The game marks the first true test for coach Kalen DeBoer, who’s tasked with taking on one of the most successful programs in recent memory in his first season after taking over for the retired Nick Saban. DeBoer will hope to continue Saban’s dominance of Georgia, as the legendary coach has bested the Bulldogs in five of Alabama’s last six matchups.
The game is certainly one of the top matchups of the entire regular season, and the winner should firmly cement itself as one of the top national championship contenders in college football.
Where is ‘College GameDay’ this week?
“College GameDay,” ESPN’s pregame show that airs live from the site of a game each week, is headed to Tuscaloosa in Week 5 for a matchup between power programs ranked inside the top five.
The show consisting of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and — as of the 2024 college football season — Nick Saban came to Tuscaloosa twice last season. It watched Alabama’s Sept. 9 loss to Texas and its Nov. 4 win over LSU. “GameDay” was also at the SEC championship game in Atlanta for the Crimson Tide’s win over Georgia.
Alabama holds a 19-12 all-time record as the “GameDay” host.
