College GameDay from No. 2 Oregon at USC; Five of Top Six Teams in BCS Standings in Action; Two Telecasts between Ranked Teams
College GameDay Built by The Home Depot — beginning on ESPNU at 9 a.m. and continuing on ESPN at 10 a.m. every Saturday and simulcast on ESPN Radio — will originate from Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 30, the site of No. 2 Oregon at USC (televised on ABC at 8 p.m.). This year, all seven schools that have hosted College GameDay have won that day. The last three road teams were ranked No. 1 entering the game.
Chris Fowler hosts the Emmy Award-winning program with analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard. Erin Andrews anchors several segments of the first hour on ESPNU and contributes reports, interviews and features during the ESPN portion.
This week’s schedule will feature five of the top six teams in the BCS standings in action, including two against ranked opponents Saturday at 3:30 p.m.: No. 5 Michigan State at No. 18 Iowa and No. 6 Missouri at No. 14 Nebraska. Additional highlights:
- No. 1 Auburn will take on Mississippi Saturday at 6 p.m. on ESPN2;
- The Saturday Night Football telecast on ABC will pit No. 2 Oregon at Pac-10 rival USC at 8 p.m.;
- ESPN2 will televise No. 3 Boise State against Louisiana Tech Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Also on Saturday, ESPN2 will televise No. 9 Oklahoma, coming off its only loss this season against Missouri, versus Colorado at 9:15 p.m. while ABC will offer one-loss No. 11 Ohio State at Minnesota at 8 p.m.
