College GameDay is going back to Big Ten country for Week 13.
ESPN’s flagship pregame show will be in Columbus, Ohio, next weekend for Ohio State’s highly-anticipated matchup with Indiana. It’s possible both programs will be in the top 5 of the College Football Playoff rankings next week.
Here’s the official announcement:

Barring any other upsets in Week 14, this game will serve as a de-facto play-in game for the Big Ten Championship. The winner would almost certainly face Oregon in the title game in December with a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff on the line.
The stakes are extremely high for both programs. Ohio State is looking to win the Big Ten for the first time since 2020. For Indiana, the Hoosiers are already having their best season in program history but may need to win on Saturday in Columbus in order to ensure a spot in the College Football Playoff.
College GameDay won’t be the only pregame show on campus next weekend. FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff will also be in Columbus for this matchup, the network announced on Saturday. GameDay and Big Noon were also notably at the same game earlier this month when they each chose to broadcast from State College ahead of Ohio State-Penn State.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET on FOX.
