One of college football’s flagship shows has announced its destination for Week 1 of the 2023 season. ESPN College GameDay will be headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the battle of the Carolinas between North Carolina and South Carolina.
Joe Vitale of Athlon Sports says the lack of marquee matchups in Week 1 makes the battle of the Carolinas a logical choice.
There aren’t a whole lot of marquee matchups in Week 1 (FSU-LSU is Sunday night) but the Colorado-TCU game is intriguing only because the 2022 national runner-up entertains Coach Prime and his rebuilt Buffaloes.
But we’re going with a border rivalry featuring two very good teams— North Carolina at South Carolina.
College GameDay first traveled away from the studio for the 1993 game between Notre Dame and Florida State in South Bend, Indiana.
