ESPN’s “College Gameday” is headed to Columbus in Week 13 for Ohio State’s top-five battle with Indiana, the network announced on Sunday.
This will mark the third time this season the show will be on hand for an Ohio State game and the second this month, the other two being for the Buckeyes’ 32-31 loss at Oregon on Oct. 12 and their 20-13 win over Penn State on Nov. 2. It will be the first time the show will be in Columbus this season. “College Gameday” last traveled to Columbus on Oct. 21, 2023, when it broadcast live from Ohio Stadium prior to the Buckeyes’ 20-12 win over the Nittany Lions.
Although the Buckeyes have a 1-1 record with the show on hand in 2024, “College Gameday” has been kind to them over the years, with the program boasting a 41-20 record in their 60 all-time appearances, which dates back to 1996. Longtime ESPN analyst Lee Corso has donned Brutus Buckeye’s headgear a record 44 times in his 28 years as Gameday’s eccentric game picker, including on Nov. 2 in State College, Pa.
As for Indiana, Corso’s former team, this marks the second time this season the show will be on hand for a Hoosiers game, the first occurring in Bloomington, Ind., for the team’s 31-17 win over Washington on Oct. 26. That marked the first time the show was on Indiana’s campus in six years.
