Fans Aren't Happy About College GameDay's Week 13 Destination
11/16/2024 09:59 PM
With just two weeks of regular season college football still on the schedule after tonight, College GameDay has limitless options on which campuses to grace with their presence before the College Football Playoff. Their pick for next week has a lot of fans pretty disappointed.
On Saturday afternoon, ESPN announced that GameDay is heading to Columbus, Ohio for the big top five matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers. The two teams are a combined 19-1 and the winner of the game is almost assured to be a participant in the Big Ten Championship Game. But while the matchup itself is compelling, college football fans are collectively rolling their eyes at the lack of creativity in choosing to go to Columbus.
Judging by the replies, a number of fans were hoping that they would instead go to Tempe, Arizona for the Big 12 for a potential Big 12 Championship Game preview between No. 6 BYU and the Arizona State Sun Devils.
We're headed back to The Shoe 🍿

"You couldn't even wait to see if ASU won for an 8-2 ASU vs 10-0 BYU next week? You guys were just itching to be at Ohio State for the 15th straight year huh? I guess it's too boring to show off 2 Cinderella stories in the BIG XII," one user replied.
"It's so disappointing you continue to recycle teams. What do you think you're gonna get that you haven't the past 23 times?!? Should've gone for ASU BYU," wrote another.
"Big Noon is already there? If ASU wins tonight, ASUvBYU would be a much more fun game," a third wrote.
Others are just exhausted of seeing Ohio State as the featured team on College GameDay all the time. It will mark the third Ohio State game that GameDay has been to this season, though only the first at the Columbus campus.
"3 Ohio state games. Boring," one remarked.
"Let's try a new location for a change.." another suggested.
"Wow a rare visit to Columbus," a third mocked.
It's been a banner year for Indiana, who are off to their first-ever 10-0 start and first-ever 10-win season while enjoying their highest ranking in the Associated Press poll since the 1960s. But they also haven't beaten a single team that's currently ranked and many believe the Buckeyes are going to expose them next week.
Do you think College GameDay should have gone to Columbus? Where do you think they should have gone?
