College Gameday Predicitions

I did this last year and got yelled at by a bunch of you. Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm doing it again.
Week 1 has been announced as Fort Worth, TX for the FSU-Oklahoma State game)
I predict with these things in mind
1. They will go to the ABC primetime site unless theres a good reason not too. Not all of those have been announced yet though.
2. They try to not go to the same place more than once a season. They will galdly break that rule for high profile teams/players (I have them going to Tallahassee twice), and sometiems i just cannot justify a replacement game (I have them in Pasadena twice).
3. They are a little more lenient on repeat teams, but still try to spread the wealth. Again, higher profile teams/players will get preferential treatment.
With that in mind, here are my predictions:
Week 2: South Bend, IN (Michigan at Notre Dame)
Week 3: Norman, OK (Tennessee at Oklahoma)
Week 4: Tallahassee, FL (Clemson at Florida State)
Week 5: Seattle, WA (Stanford at Washington)
Week 6: Lansing, MI (Nebraska at Michigan State)
Week 7: Pasadena, CA (Oregon at UCLA)
Week 8: Tuscaloosa, AL (Texas A&M at Alabama)
Week 9: State College, PA (Ohio State at Penn State)
Week 10: Jacksonville, FL (Florida vs. Georgia)
Week 11: Baton Rouge, LA (Alabama at LSU)
Week 12: Athens, GA (Auburn at Georgia)
Week 13: Pasadena, CA (USC at UCLA)
Week 14: Tallahassee, FL (Florida at Florida State)

You are absolutely fricking insane if you think College Gameday is going to pass up an undefeated Bama @ OM for Nebraska at Michigan State.
and even more insane if you think Gameday is going to this blowout:

Has Gameday ever been to Oxford?

Its in Arlintgon, not Ft W.

I hope they go someplace like North Dakota State again. Y'all may disagree, but that was one of the favorite Gameday's ever.

Yeah maybe I am biased here but if Ole miss undefeated when Bama comes to town, I think it's a no brainer gameday will be in the Grove

I guess SC and UGA would be ruled out in week 3 since it's CBS 3:30

And no they have never been to Oxford. They all say they want to though. The best chance was for the 03 Ole Miss/LSU game for the SEC West championship

Yeah I was wondering how the hell they weren't there for that one.
ETA: Looked it up, they were in Ann Arbor for #4tOSU vs. #5 Michigan

It has been a while and I'd welcome their return. Something I've never done in my many trips to Jax.

Would be fricking awesome.

Gameday goes to Fort Worth because there is nothing in Arlington

Two things you aren't considering:
1. SEC Nation will probably cut back on the number of SEC locales for Gameday. I don't see more than 2-3 with SEC Nation being on all 14 campuses every year.
2. They always do a small college game. North Dakota State, Williams, Mount Union. Usually late October/early November. The crew loves it and they will continue to do it. They will probably be at Wisconsin-Whitewater this season.

This will either be in Oxford or Auburn.
4, possible, undefeated SEC teams will be playing.

No, and that's why it's insane. Barring a crazy twist aka losing before Bama, it's already penciled in for Oxford. Ever since their royal 2003 frick up, they have been trying to get back to Oxford. We just haven't been good or had the right stack of cards. Gameday has made it VERY public how badly they want to be in the Grove ever since Freeze has taken over. I'd bet 100% of my life earnings that Gameday will be in Oxford if both OM and Bama are undefeated.

Some idiot on the MSB was insisting they'd be in Mobile for the USA- State game a couple weeks ago

Yeah, crazy to think Ole Miss will beat Boise State, Vandy, Memphis, and ULL.

Big names for sure but expected to be a blowout. I think they might come to Columbia for the UGA game.
eta: and if SC can knock of UGA and be 7-0 headed into week 8 it'd definitely be between A&M-Bama and SC-AU

Gameday came for Alabama South Carolina in 2010 and it was CBS

Gameday has never been to Oxford, so I actually think they'll take up the Alabama @ Ole Miss game this year.
