Where is ‘College GameDay’ this week? Location, schedule, guest picker for Week 2 on ESPN originally appeared on The Sporting News
“College GameDay” returns to its usual morning slot on Saturday ahead of the Week 2 slate of college football games. It figures to carry a different feel to the Week 1 iteration of the event — Lee Corso’s send-off episode ahead of Ohio State’s win over Texas.

The void left by Corso will be tough to fill. There are few people capable of donning oversized headgear and firing off takes quite like Corso. But ESPN’s flagship college football show has plenty of standouts on its roster. Between Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee, “College GameDay” isn’t wanting in firepower.
Whether that leads to good viewership numbers is a different question. ESPN will get its first opportunity to gauge “College GameDay”‘s post-Corso viability on Saturday, ahead of an enticing clash between two college football powerhouses.
With that, here’s what you need to know about the location, time, and guest picker for Saturday’s Week 2 broadcast of “College GameDay.”

Who is the guest picker for ‘College GameDay’ Week 2?
Week 2’s “College GameDay” special guest has not yet been revealed. Last year, famed country artist Blake Shelton got the call. Shelton, an Oklahoma native, picked the Sooners to down the Volunteers. He was a tad too optimistic; Tennessee claimed a 25-15 victory in the end.
