College GameDay – ESPN’s signature pregame show on Saturdays in the fall – has visited a whole bunch of campuses since 1993. It’s been to big games, like LSU verus Alabama, awesome campuses in the Group of Five like Appalachian State, iconic HBCU venues like Jackson State, and historic rivalries like Army-Navy.
This weekend, GameDay went to Duke for the first time. While the basketball version of GameDay has been to Cameron Indoor Stadium dozens of times, the football show had never broadcast from campus ahead of a football game at Wallace Wade Stadium. That changed Saturday, with a ranked Duke team led by Mike Elko hosting Notre Dame.
But there are still six Power Five – or autonomy five (read: ACC, SEC, Pac-12, Big Ten, Big 12) – schools that have never hosted GameDay.
With Duke checked off the list, Who’s Next?
