College GameDay reveals destination for Week 7 broadcast
College GameDay is back on the move with ESPN’s popular Saturday morning pre-game show setting its Week 7 destination!
Before the Week 6 action had even concluded, ESPN was back with the next location. That will come out west in Eugene, Oregon with the Ducks set to host Ohio State in a battle of unbeatens.
ESPN’s announcement came down shortly after Ohio State beat Iowa, 35-7, to move to 5-0 on the year.

Entering the weekend, Ohio State and Oregon were ranked No. 3 and No. 6, respectively, on the latest AP Poll. They are unlikely to drop after solid wins over the weekend.
The Buckeyes delivered a strong 2nd half in a win over Iowa to get to 5-0. Meanwhile, the Ducks played their game Friday night with a strong win over Michigan State.
This game has already long been circled as the likely Game of the Year in the Big Ten. Dan Lanning and the Ducks are the newcomer trying to take the league by storm while Ryan Day is trying to get his Buckeyes back to the top of the mountain within the conference.
Though the Buckeyes are not hosting, it will be the 60th all-time appearance for the Buckeyes, breaking a tie with Alabama for the most in the country. Ohio State already holds the record for most wins (40) in a GameDay appearance.
It will be Oregon’s first appearance since Oct. 28 last season, though that game came in Salt Lake City. The Ducks last hosted GameDay on Oct. 22, 2022 for a game against UCLA.
