ESPN's "College GameDay" broadcast its Week 12 show in Athens, Georgia, as the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs played host to the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday night.
This game had major College Football Playoff implications, as both Georgia (7-2, 5-2 in SEC play) and Tennessee (8-1,5-1 in SEC play) could fall out of the race with a loss. Normally, "College GameDay," which includes host Rece Davis alongside analysts Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Pat McAfee, selects the location of one of the top games of the week as its venue. Week 13 was no exception.
On Saturday afternoon, the show revealed that its next broadcast will come from Columbus, Ohio, as the undefeated No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers (10-0, 7-0 in Big Ten play) take on the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (9-1, 6-1 in Big Ten play) in a major conference game.
"We're headed back to The Shoe," the show wrote on X. "See you soon for Indiana-Ohio State." We're headed back to The Shoe 🍿 See you soon for Indiana-Ohio State 👋 pic.

7 per game) and first in yards allowed (250.8), prior to Week 12. © Ken Ruinard / staff / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images This will mark "College GameDay's" first trip to Ohio State on the season.
Still, the Buckeyes have been featured in two other episodes: Week 7 against the Oregon Ducks in Eugene and Week 10 against the Penn State Nittany Lions in Happy Valley. The show featured Indiana one other time this season as well when it traveled to Bloomington for the Hoosiers' Week 9 game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
