ESPN College Gameday Predictions

Last year, I put together an in-depth look at week by week predictions for where ESPN College Gameday may broadcast during football season. My predictions didn't fair so well early on; although, the tragedy at Virginia Tech did cause the first three weeks to get shuffled around. Had that not happened, I think my batting percentage would've been much higher.

I'm not planning to do an in depth series this year because (A) I'm not sure I care enough and (B) It took too long. However, here's my poorly researched shot at where I think College Gameday will broadcast over the first half of the season. (This was prompted by Barnhart's article on Monday in the AJC that mentioned this topic).

Predictions:

Week 1: Alabama vs. Clemson (ESPN/ABC)

Week 2: Miami at Florida (ESPN)

Week 3: Ohio State at Southern Cal (ABC)

Week 4: UGA at Arizona State (ABC) - I called this one last November.

Week 5: VT at Nebraska (ABC) Outside shot of Bama at UGA if the Tide and Dawgs are undefeated at this point, and the game ends up as a night ESPN telecast.

Week 6: Ohio State at Wisconsin or FSU vs. Miami

Week 7: LSU at UF (last two defending national champs face off)

If LSU and Florida are both struggling, I could see UGA vs. Tennessee getting consideration in Week 7. But I doubt it. I think we're more likely to run into Fowler and Herbie on the road in places like Tempe, Jacksonville and Baton Rouge than we are at home.
