ESPN’s “College GameDay” is headed out West for Week 6 of the college football season.
It was announced Saturday night during the Alabama-Georgia game that the popular college football pregame show is headed to No. 7 Miami at Cal.
“We are going to Cal,” Rece Davis said Saturday night. “The Golden Bears will welcome ‘GameDay.’”
He teased there re only five Power 5 teams that have not hosted the show.
“The last time I was at Cal, I was to work out Aaron Rodgers,” Nick Saban said. “That was a long time.”
The last three destinations have been in SEC country. Columbia, S.C., Norman, Okla., and Tuscaloosa have highlighted the SEC.
The Hurricanes are coming off a controversial win.
Cam Ward found Isaiah Horton with a 1-yard touchdown pass with 1:57 left for what became the winning score, and No. 7 Miami rallied to beat Virginia Tech 38-34 in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams on Friday night.
Officials deemed that Da’Quan Felton caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Kyron Drones amid a crowd of players from both teams as time expired, which would have given Virginia Tech the win. The call was overturned after a long review. The Hurricanes trailed by double digits on three separate occasions, the last of those when the Hokies went up 34-24 with 12:05 left.
