College GameDay will be in B1G country for a second consecutive week.

Sunday morning, the official Twitter account of the popular pre-game show tweeted out that it will be heading to Columbus next Saturday for a colossal conference match-up between No. 2 Penn State and No. 6 Ohio State.

This will be the second trip College GameDay has made to Columbus.

The announcement comes 12 hours after Penn State obliterated Michigan 42-13 in Beaver Stadium. College GameDay was in Happy Valley to preview that game.

Ohio State was on the bye last week, but has crushed every opponent in its path over the last five weeks. Penn State enters the game 7-0 while the Buckeyes are 6-1.

College GameDay was a bit of bad luck for the Buckeyes last time it came to town. The pre-game show was in Columbus in Week 2 to preview Oklahoma-Ohio State, a top-five match-up at the time. The Sooners went on to win that game 31-16.

This will be the third time this season GameDay has covered an Ohio State game this fall. In Week 1, it made an appearance in Bloomington for a Thursday night showdown between the Buckeyes and Hoosiers.

Saturday’s game between Penn State and Ohio State will air at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX. College GameDay will air from 9 a.m. – noon.
