This story has been updated with new information

ESPN’s “College GameDay” heads to a city that will be central to the Week 7 college football schedule: Eugene, Oregon.

With a No. 2 vs. No. 3 matchup on the docket, college football’s best pregame show featuring Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit returns to Memorial Quad on Oregon’s campus for Saturday’s Big Ten heavyweight showdown between the No. 3 Ducks and the No. 2 Ohio State.

The game, the first of a new Big Ten rivalry, also features two national championship teams that are among 12 FBS teams to remain undefeated this season. It’s the first time “GameDay” has returned to Eugene since 2022, when Sabrina Ionescu was the guest voter.

Oregon comes home last week with a 31-10 romp over Michigan State behind running back Jordan James’ career night of 166 rushing yards, a victory that extended the Ducks’ home winning streak against unranked opponents to 37 games. Meanwhile, Ohio State itself remained undefeated thanks to a big second half against Iowa at home.
