Predicting where College GameDay will be each week for the 2024 college football season (2024)

Week 0 has a light schedule this season with just four games involving FBS teams and this matchup was by far the biggest of the bunch. It will be interesting to see how FSU fans interact with the ESPN show and Kirk Herbstreit.

This week is full of interesting options as GameDay could have heard to Atlanta for Clemson vs. Georgia or to Gainesville for Miami vs. Florida. Notre Dame and has two of the biggest fanbases in the sport and it should be interesting to see how the Irish handle what should be a packed and fired-up Kyle Fieldhouse in Mike Elko’s debut.

This is arguably the easiest pick of the season with two premier brands meeting up and two of last year’s final four teams. Michigan is looking to defend its national title with a new coach while Texas is looking to show that they are once again a title contender.

Can Luke Fickell pick up a statement win in his second season at Wisconsin? This a great chance for him to stun Alabama as they start the Kalen DeBoer era. This is another clash of two iconic programs and should provide an early look at where they stand.

This is another busy week and while USC-Michigan should be great, I’m skeptical that GameDay would go there twice in three weeks. Utah-Oregon State is also an exciting matchup but Oklahoma’s first SEC game against Tennessee and their former quarterback Josh Heupel is too good of a matchup to pass up.

Nick Saban and College GameDay’s return to Tuscaloosa will be must-watch TV and there is not a better time than when they host Georgia in a rematch of last year’s SEC Championship Game. This will be Kalen DeBoer’s SEC debut and he could be in a rude welcome by Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs.

This game could very well determine the ACC as FSU and Clemson are two of the top contenders. Clemson is looking for payback after last year’s loss at home while Mike Norvell and Florida State are looking to show they are the top program in the conference.

Oregon and Ohio State are entering the season as two of the top national title contenders in the country and this game will have major implications in the Big Ten title race. Both of these teams have struggled to win the big game over the past couple of seasons and will be looking to show that this year is different.

Both programs will be making their second appearance but this is arguably the two best teams in the SEC and two of the top five teams in the country. Texas is looking to prove it belongs in the SEC and there is no better way than knocking off the Bulldogs, who have become the conference’s best program.

It is time to head to Big 12 country and see what should be a very fun and entertaining rivalry game. Oklahoma-Ole Miss is another possible matchup but College GameDay has already seen plenty of SEC schools in this hypothetical scenario and has yet to feature a Big 12 program.

Is this the year that Penn State is a legit national title contender? They have yet to become a true contender under James Franklin despite racking up the wins and this will be a great chance for them to prove they are for real. This will be Ohio State’s second appearance on GameDay.

Both of these programs are entering the season with playoff aspirations and they could both enter this game unbeaten. This would be FSU’s third appearance and Notre Dame’s second and other possible locations are Alabama at LSU and Georgia at Ole Miss

This week is a tough one, Tennessee-Georgia will face off but that would be Georgia’s third appearance and that feels excessive. If Colorado can back up the hype with some wins then this would be an exciting matchup as Utah is looking to make the expanded College Football Playoff with an experienced roster.

Yes, rivalry week has plenty of great options but is there another option than the return of Texas-Texas A&M? This should be an insane atmosphere and could have major playoff implications.
