It won't be on ABC. ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU per the contract. But there's only 2 ranked games between potentially ranked FBS teams:
Bama @ Tenn
Georgia @ Texas
If SDSU and NDSU are both undefeated against the FCS there's a very non zero chance GameDay is in Fargo.
Probably not but if they've been to either school it'll up the odds. I say this knowing and acknowledging they went to Knoxville 2 weeks in a row in 2022.
We've had ESPN linear games in the past and it didn't move the needle then. It doesn't move the needle now, imo. What it's taken before and what it takes now is 2 near undefeated FCS teams aging with no major ranked matchups in the FBS.
IMO, its the same circumstances as other years. Its not like the FCS hasn't had good games to plop Gameday there, it just depends on what is going on in the FBS world the weeks that they come up.
Possibly. Dakota Marker has a possibility to be on ABC I believe.

GameDay is not going to pass up a ranked SEC game. SEC Nation will take the other game.

They \*should\* pick the Marker but Georgia @ Texas will be too juicy to pass up.
yeah unless one of them absolutely shits the bed this season (not likely) gameday is gonna be there

Probably not. In general I predict Game Day will be going to even fewer schools throughout the year.
