ESPN’s College GameDay Returns to Eugene for Oregon–USC in Week 13

The repeat stop revives criticism of passing over smaller programs despite the game’s playoff implications.

Overview

ESPN confirmed Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit will anchor the broadcast from Autzen Stadium.
This marks GameDay’s second visit to Eugene this season after the Week 7 show for Oregon–Indiana.
Fans on social media criticized the decision and urged attention to smaller-school rivalries such as Montana State–Montana, Harvard–Yale and Lehigh–Lafayette.
Reports conflict on how many times Oregon has hosted GameDay, with figures of 14 and 33 both cited and not reconciled.
GameDay airs Saturday morning on ESPN, the Oregon–USC matchup will be televised on CBS, and the guest picker has not been announced.
