The college football season has been nothing short of exciting. There have been upsets galore, and a variety of "Game of the Year" candidates. Prior to kick-off, fans wake up early to watch some pregame programming to get ready for the long day of watching football. One of the biggest programs is ESPN College GameDay.
ESPN's weekly Saturday morning show, featuring Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee, is a huge spectacle as they take over a venue or campus in front of hyped-up fans. In Week 7, College GameDay took over the University of Washington in Seattle ahead of the highly-anticipated Huskies-Oregon Ducks game.
So, where will College GameDay be going for Week 8?
College GameDay location for Week 8
During the aforementioned Oregon vs. Washington game, ESPN play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler announced that College GameDay will be at Ohio State's Columbus campus, as the No. 3 Buckeyes take on the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions in a huge Big Ten matchup.
This is the 23rd time that Ohio State will host ESPN's college football pregame program. This is also the 58th time that Ohio State will be featured on College GameDay as either the home or road team.
