Will ESPN’s College Gameday head to LSU in week 11?

Hosts Lee Corso, at left, and Kirk Herbstreit talk during the ESPN College GameDay show on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, on the Hesburgh Library lawn on the University of Notre Dame campus in South Bend. The show was to highlight the Notre Dame-Ohio State game.

LSU is off week 10, but the Tigers’ have their biggest game of the year on the horizon in week 11. LSU will host the Alabama Crimson Tide in what’s a defacto college football playoff elimination game.

An LSU win keeps Brian Kelly’s team in the hunt for the SEC. A loss would likely relegate LSU to a simple bowl game.

The LSU-Alabama game is always one of the top games on the slate. It usually comes with SEC and national title implications, featuring future NFL players on both sidelines.

Next week is no different. LSU vs. Alabama is one of just two ranked matchups in week 11, making it a prime candidate for ESPN’s College Gameday.

LSU’s main competition will be Georgia at Ole Miss, but ABC already handed LSU-Alabama the ABC primetime slot.

Gameday is yet to show up to Baton Rouge this year, but the LSU helmet has already been featured once when Gameday stopped in Colombia for LSU’s meeting with South Carolina.

Gameday is no stranger to LSU and Alabama meetings — it’s one of the most heavily featured matchups in the show’s history. An announcement should come late Saturday or early Sunday, but I’d expect LSU has a good shot of landing ESPN’s premier show.
