You know it is a Saturday in the fall when you hear Big and Rich singing Comin’ to Your City and you see ESPN’s College Gameday is live. The signs, the fans, the food, each week they try to encompass the school and area they are visiting.
This year they have already announced where they will be in week one with stops in Pittsburgh and Columbus. They will be in Pittsburgh for the renewal of the Backyard Brawl between Pittsburgh and West Virginia on Thursday night of Week 1 (odds are you may be watching another game though) before making the short drive to Columbus for Ohio State and Notre Dame. Penn State fans are used to the Gameday crew making appearances in University Park though. Just last year they came to town for Penn State hosting Auburn which marked the ninth time they were in Happy Valley.
This year, however, we look ahead and project some games that could be strong enough to earn coverage from Lee Corso and the crew.
