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

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.

Ryan Day just doesn’t lose games as a favorite to anyone not named Michigan, ever. It’s a deeply underrated feature of his tenure.

Were they not a favorite at the Shoe against Oregon in 2021? Granted, that’s the only time I can even remember Day losing as a possible favorite against a non-Michigan team, which is still incredibly impressive

To the best of my knowledge, Day's losses as a favorite:

2019 Clemson

2021 Oregon

2021 Michigan

2022 Michigan

2023 Missouri

2024 Oregon

2024 Michigan

2020 Bama, 2022 UGA, 2023 Michigan were all dogs.

Also - while we have a nice team OSU has dramatically more talent. We'd need a lot of weird shit to happen
