ESPN ‘College GameDay’ passes on showdown between Deion Sanders, Dan Lanning in Week 4

ESPN College GameDay has decided to pass on coming out to Eugene for the Colorado game next weekend.

It would have been nice, but it’s understandable that ESPN “College GameDay” passed on Eugene next week in favor of a Top-10 showdown.

With Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes one of the top sports stories, the upstart Buffs will begin Pac-12 play at Oregon, which will surely be their toughest test to date.

Instead, the GameDay crew will head to South Bend, Indiana, to cover Ohio State-Notre Dame, a game that might already have College Football Playoff implications, even though it’s only Week 4.

Perhaps this is why ESPN decided to go to Boulder this week for the Colorado State-Colorado matchup. They wanted to get Deion out of their system before the Buffaloes face the Ducks next week and USC the week after.

Still, the Ducks and Buffs will be one of the primary contests on the ESPN family of stations. The game will be on ABC at 12:30 p.m. PT.
