With college football season right around the corner, ESPN's "College GameDay" won't be far behind. The network has announced where the show will broadcast live for the first 3 Saturdays of the college season, starting September 3rd.
The season premiere of "College GameDay" will originate from the "House that Jerry (Jones) Built", Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX, September 3rd, hours before a neutral site game between #3 Oregon & #4 LSU in the "Cowboy Classic". Then, the following Saturday, September 10th, the "GameDay" crew heads to Ann Arbor, MI for the matchup between #18 Notre Dame and unranked Michigan at Michigan Stadium. Last but not least, the "GameDay" crew heads to Tallahassee, FL for the #1 Oklahoma/#5 Florida State matchup Saturday, September 17th. Other stops will be determined as the season progresses. The rankings listed above are based on the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll released yesterday.
Just like last year, Erin Andrews will anchor the first hour of "GameDay" at 8a on ESPNU, which is DIRECTV 208 and available in HD. Andrews will then hand the reigns over to Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso & Desmond Howard from outside the stadium at 9a on ESPNHD, where she'll contribute reports, interviews & feature stories during the show's final 2 hours. ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi will also contribute a feature story every week, and current ESPN analyst David Pollack will become a contributing correspondent as well this season.
