ESPN's "College GameDay" will be having a change of pace for its Week 11 show. The GameDay crew is headed to the Pac-12 for a showdown between the No. 24 Boise State Broncos and the Oregon State Beavers.
GameDay has not attended a Pac-12 game since 2023. The revamped conference is hoping to land a bid as the highest-ranked non-Power Four team in the College Football Playoff. Currently, Boise State is projected to land that spot. Based on the current rankings, Boise State would be the No. 12 seed in the playoff.
GameDay has not attended Boise, Idaho, since the Broncos hosted Oregon State back in 2010. GameDay picked the Oregon State at Boise State game over other top Nov. 14 matchups including Missouri at Georgia, Wake Forest at SMU, USC at Indiana,
Michigan at Oregon, Texas at LSU, Utah at Arizona and Texas Tech at Oklahoma State.
Boise State's top competition to land the non-Power Four playoff bid includes New Mexico, North Texas and Liberty. The Boise State game will be GameDay's first trip to a non-Power Four destination since attending James Madison's campus in 2023.
"Get ready Boise we're coming to your city! GameDay announced via social media. "We're heading west for a Pac-12 showdown that could have CFP implications between Oregon State and Boise State."
The Georgia-Missouri is GameDay's last legitimate chance to come to Athens during the regular season. We doubt GameDay would come to Georgia for the Georgia Tech game on rivalry week since Georgia Tech has had an awful season. GameDay has not come to Athens since the Ole Miss game in Oct. 2025. The last year where GameDay did not come to Athens was in 2018.
