ESPN's College GameDay will be back in Columbus for the second time this year when Ohio State hosts Penn State on Saturday.
The network announced Sunday that it is bringing its weekly pregame show back to Ohio State's campus for next weekend's game between the Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) and Nittany Lions (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten), a game that could decide who wins the Big Ten East after Penn State defeated Michigan, 42-13, on Saturday night.
Ready for round 2, Buckeyes?

Saturday will be the 40th time GameDay has set up shop at a game featuring Ohio State, tied for the most all-time with Alabama. It will be the 17th time Ohio State has hosted GameDay, surpassing Alabama for the most among all schools.
2017 will be the fourth time Ohio State has hosted GameDay twice in one year. Ohio State previously hosted GameDay twice in 2002 (before games against Washington State and Michigan), in 2003 (before games against Washington and Purdue) and in 2006 (before games against Penn State and Michigan).
It will be the second straight week that Penn State is featured on GameDay, as the Nittany Lions hosted GameDay in State College for the Michigan game.
Big Ten Network's on-campus pregame show, BTN Tailgate, will also be at Ohio State for Saturday's game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised on Fox.
