Saturday in college football is packed with must-watch games, but the highlight of the day is the 7:30 p.m. ET showdown in Eugene, Oregon, where the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will face the No. 3 Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium.
Both teams remain unbeaten, marking their first matchup since Oregon joined the Big Ten conference. ESPN’s ” College GameDay ” will broadcast its Week 7 edition of the show from the Oregon Ducks campus, and analyst Kirk Herbstreit had high praise for the university entering Saturday.
Herbstreit has traveled the country for “College GameDay,” visiting countless campuses and witnessing some of the most electrifying games and passionate crowds. However, he believes Oregon truly stands out from the rest.
“We come all over the country, we get asked all the time, ‘Where’s your favorite to take College GameDay?’ Herbstreit said. “I say every time, Eugene, Oregon.”
Kirk Herbstreit’s endorsement is a testament to the impact of “College GameDay,” which is on track for its best season yet, thanks to the addition of Nick Saban and the return of fan-favorite Pat McAfee.
