Get ready, State College, College GameDay is coming to town.

Next weekend, the popular ESPN pregame show will be headed to the home of the Nittany Lions to preview a top 25 showdown between No. 10 Penn State and No. 16 Michigan. It will be the second time College GameDay will be making an appearance on a B1G campus. In late September, the crew was in Lincoln for a showdown between Ohio State and Nebraska.

In 2017, College GameDay was also in State College to preview the Michigan-Penn State game. That contest was won easily by the Nittany Lions, posting a 42-13 victory over the Wolverines.

College GameDay made the announcement via Twitter:

Penn State and Michigan have met 22 times, with the Wolverines owning a 14-8 advantage all-time. Michigan has also won four of the last six meetings.

Michigan enters Saturday’s game with a 5-1 mark, with the lone loss coming to No. 8 Wisconsin. Penn State is 6-0 on the year.

Kickoff between Michigan and Penn State is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and the game will air on ABC.
