ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ will be live from Columbus, Ohio on Saturday morning ahead of the Big Ten showdown between No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers and No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes in the Horseshoe. This series historically doesn’t move the needle, but thanks to Indiana’s surprise 10-0 start, the game has huge Big Ten title game and College Football Playoff implications.
The weekly morning college football show has visited Ohio State quite frequently in its history. In fact, the Buckeyes have hosted the show more than any other team in the country, welcoming the show 23 times over the years. The show’s visit to OSU’s campus on Saturday morning marks the first time this season.
For Ohio State, the Buckeyes can secure a trip to the Big Ten title game with a victory over Indiana. That would give the Buckeyes a chance to avenge their regular-season loss to Oregon earlier in the year. If Indiana can beat Ohio State for the first time since 1988, it’ll give the Hoosiers a Big Ten Championship Game berth for the first time ever.
Here’s a complete guide to ESPN’s “College GameDay” location for Week 13, including the guest picker, how to watch, and more.

“College GameDay” will be on site for Saturday afternoon’s Big Ten matchup between the Hoosiers and Buckeyes.

TV channel: ESPN

“College GameDay” will air live on ESPN, and is available to stream on both ESPN+ and Fubo, which allows new users to access a free trial.
ESPN’s flagship Saturday morning college football show will be broadcasting live from outside Ohio Stadium. The weekly GameDay panel consisting of Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit will be live from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. The game will kick off shortly after the show ends.
Although the show has been to an Ohio State game before, this marks the first time the show has broadcast live from Columbus this season. Earlier in the year, the show was on-hand before Penn State’s game against the Buckeyes, which OSU won 20-13. The last time the show came to Ohio State was before last year’s game between the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions.
This will be Indiana’s toughest test so far this season. ESPN’s FPI gives the Hoosiers just a 26.5 percent chance of winning, as Indiana is a 13-5-point underdog.
Who will Lee Corso pick?
Lee Corso is no stranger to putting on Brutus the Buckeye’s headgear. In fact, he has picked the Buckeyes 42 times in the show’s history, which is the most of any team. Here’s a rundown of his picks so far:
