Will Penn State get two GameDay visits in the 2025 season?
College football is full of unique traditions and customs that fill up a Saturday in the fall. But the energy goes up anytime ESPN pulls its College GameDay bus and traveling roadshow onto campus for a big game. The Colleghe GameDay pregame show has become a tradition and trend setter since making its first road trip in 1993 and making it a weekly tradition since 1994. This year’s traveling road show will start the year off in Columbus, Ohio, for the season opener between defending national champion Ohio State and Texas in a College Football Playoff semifinal rematch. It will be the final GameDay for the legendary Lee Corso, who is ready to settle into retirement after one final mascot head pick.
Penn State could be in a good spot to see the College GameDay crew attend a few games this season. With the preseason hype surrounding the Nittany Lions, and some attractive candidates on the schedule for GameDay to set up shop. And it may not be too long into the season for the first GameDay visit to a Penn State game. Where will the GameDay crew be heading each week of this upcoming college football season? Here are some early predictions following Week 1’s visit to Ohio State.
Week 2: Oklahoma vs. Michigan
A week after showcasing a Big Ten vs. SEC matchup on Big Ten soil, this seems to be the appropriate follow-up in Week 2 between legendary programs Michigan and Oklahoma in Norman, OK. The game is already set for a primetime matchup on ABC, which makes this a leading candidate for GameDay, and perhaps the decision is all but official already.
Oregon hosts Oklahoma State, and Kentucky will host Ole Miss for a couple of worthy candidates to consider, but GameDay won’t be likely to pass up a matchup between Michigan and Oklahoma when it is sitting right there for them.
