ESPN College GameDay Expected Knoxville, Morgantown Weeks 2,3

ESPN's College GameDay is set to broadcast from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville for the SEC opener between Tennessee and No. 4 Georgia, marking the third visit during the Josh Heupel era. In Morgantown, West Virginia, the possibility of College GameDay coming to the Backyard Brawl between WVU and Pitt in Week 3 hinges on both teams winning their upcoming games, with sources confirming preparations are underway if they do. This would be only the second time College GameDay visits Morgantown since 2014, spotlighting a rivalry rich in history and regional passion. West Virginia's football program, currently viewed as a roughly six-win team, sees a win against Ohio as crucial for securing the GameDay visit and boosting national relevance under coach Rich Rodriguez. The passionate WVU fanbase and the resurgence of both teams have made Morgantown a prime candidate for hosting the show, which could significantly enhance recruiting and exposure. Tennessee and Georgia's matchup and the potential Morgantown GameDay appearance both underscore the growing excitement and stakes in college football's early season.
