Where is College GameDay this week? Time and location of the ESPN show

The highly anticipated SEC matchup between No. 13 LSU and No. 11 Alabama brings the “College GameDay” crew to Baton Rouge this weekend. This is the 13th time the show has featured a match between the two schools, tied with Ohio State vs. Penn State for most College GameDay matchups ever (13).

This is a crucial matchup for LSU and Alabama, both looking to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive with a win. LSU (6-2) is currently out of the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket after the selection committee ranked the Tigers at No. 15 in the first of six official rankings. Alabama (6-2), however, secured the 11th seed in the first round.

Here’s what you need to know for the eighth College GameDay of the season.

Where is ESPN’s “College GameDay” this week?

“College GameDay” will broadcast live from Baton Rouge on Saturday for the 14th time in the pregame show’s history at LSU’s quad adjacent to Tiger Stadium. It’s the GameDay crew’s first return to Baton Rouge since October 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to a 42-28 victory over the Florida Gators.

LSU Kings will be in the house. Power couple Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne will serve as Week 11 guest picks on “College GameDay.” Skenes, a pitcher, led the Tigers to a College World Series championship in 2023 before being drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the first overall pick of the 2023 MLB Draft. Dunne, a gymnast, helped the LSU gymnastics team win its first national championship in program history in April and returns to the team for another year.
