College GameDay did not attend The Game in Columbus last year, when it instead spent the final Saturday of the regular season in College Station for Texas vs. Texas A&M, but it was at The Game for Michigan’s win over Ohio State in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The Game will be both the biggest and most anticipated game of the final Saturday of the regular season, as it carries massive implications for both teams. Ohio State will be looking to complete a 12-0 regular season and earn its first berth in the Big Ten Championship Game since 2020 by earning its first win over Michigan since 2019. Michigan’s College Football Playoff hopes will be on the line as the Wolverines, who enter The Game 9-2, will likely make the CFP with a win but will be eliminated with a loss.
FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff will also be in attendance for The Game, which kicks off at noon next Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Both pregame shows will start at 9 a.m.
The Game will be College GameDay’s second time attending an Ohio State game this season, as GameDay was also on site for Ohio State’s season-opening 14-7 win over Texas.
It will be GameDay’s 68th broadcast from a game involving Ohio State, the most of any school. The Buckeyes have a 46-21 all-time record when GameDay is on site, with a 5-4 record when GameDay is in attendance for The Game.
