ESPN’s College GameDay was in Utah on Saturday for the No. 24 Utes’ Week 10 showdown against No. 17 Cincinnati. The Big 12 battle could go a long way in deciding if either side is able to reach the conference title game later this winter.
But before that game had even kicked off on Saturday, GameDay had already picked its destination for Week 11, and it turns out, they’re heading back for another Big 12 matchup.
While there were several options on the table for which game would host GameDay in Week 11, the school that landed the gig was the one we had called last week.

The Red Raiders have one loss on their record, but still remain in good position to contend for the Big 12 title, but handing the Cougars their first loss of the season would go a long way towards their conference goals.
While there were other potential matchups for GameDay to head to—Alabama vs. LSU or Iowa vs. Oregon—both of those games would feature teams making their second appearance of the year. Navy at Notre Dame could have made a push to host, but the Midshipmen dropped their first game of the year this week against North Texas, and no longer carry the shine of an undefeated team.
