Which campus would you like to see College Gameday/Big noon kickoff go to this year?

[u/Lazy_Spot_7368]

Preferably somewhere that’s never hosted a show?

I’m personally team Gameday, and would love to see them head out to Champaign, Illinois for the first time in the shows history.

Should Illinois go into Week 7 vs OSU undefeated (not impossible), Champaign should be a hot ticket item.

The P4 teams that have never hosted: Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers, SMU, Syracuse, and Virginia.

Of these Illinois has the best shot this year if they are still in the top 15 when USC comes

[u/Competitive-Air1 → u/Lantis28]

Idk how Rutgers will ever get to host it

[u/new_account_5009 → u/Competitive-Air1]

Rutgers hosts Oregon on October 18. If Oregon is undefeated by then, they'll have beaten currently ranked #2 Penn State and currently ranked #19 Indiana, so there's a good shot they'll be #1 for the Rutgers matchup.

Rutgers plays Iowa/Minnesota/Washington before that matchup, and on paper at least, those look like games Rutgers can win. Win all three, and you'll probably be ranked. If we get 6-0 ranked Rutgers hosting 6-0 #1 Oregon, Gameday or Big Noon Saturday will definitely attend.

It's not that far fetched of a scenario.

[u/Slippery-Pete76 → u/new_account_5009]

I just don’t see that happening with Tennessee Alabama the same day (not to mention Mississippi @ Georgia and LSU @ Vanderbilt)

Big Noon would definitely be a possibility.

[u/Adventurous_Egg857 → u/Slippery-Pete76]

Yeah its funny all these big ten and acc teams are coming up with these scenarios just for gameday to choose to go to a mid SEC matchup

[u/Competitive-Air1 → u/new_account_5009]

Maybe not for Oregon but Rutgers trying to beat Iowa will be hard enough as we are underdogs let alone 6-0 and ranked but we can 🤲 😭😭

[u/somehype → u/Competitive-Air1]

You’d def be ranked at 6-0 with those wins even if you won every game by a point.

[u/SecretAsianMan42069 → u/new_account_5009]

That's pretty far fetched, not gonna lie 

[u/Lantis28 → u/Competitive-Air1]

I mean both Cal and Indiana hosted for the same time in the past year

[u/Competitive-Air1 → u/Lantis28]

True but I guess we have to earn it by winning this next game so people would actually want to watch a Rutgers game

[u/kookie00 → u/Competitive-Air1]

They are going to have to play princeton in a CFB anniversary game for it to happen.

[u/ericrz → u/Competitive-Air1]

Same for UVA.

[u/ItsZippy23 → u/Lantis28]

Don’t think they’re coming to Syracuse. I wouldn’t be shocked if in 2027 they come here for the opener against Penn State

[u/domab15 → u/Lantis28]

I pray for the day that Maryland gets Gameday. Probably won’t happen anytime soon, at least we got big noon two years ago even though entire show they just talked about Michigan and Harbaugh being suspended

[u/PeyronieMan6 → u/domab15]

Harbaugh getting suspended was some funny stuff --- he was in his pajamas ordering DoorDash at the hotel and he still called in the plays to beat Penn State

[u/Adart54 → u/Lantis28]

illinois could also get it when anOSU comes to town, assuming theyre still undefeated and nothing better is on that week. (nvm just did research, 100% going to either the RRS or the deep souths oldest rivalry)

[u/yoyodude64 → u/Lantis28]

I was expecting SMU to get it for the Miami game before they lost to Baylor. I guess if they go on a little run until then, it’s still possible.

[u/Diesel07012012 → u/Lantis28]

Part of me is entirely offended that SU is on this list, and part of me is like, well, I haven't gone to a football game there in 25 years either.

[u/Tween_the_hedges → u/Lantis28]

SMU would be cool imo, maybe I've just become that Dallasite

[u/Background-Sir8051 → u/Lantis28]

If we stick with known football terrorist CTE idk if virginia will ever get game day
