The FCS will get their turn to host ESPN’s College GameDay. Who will be the celebrity picker live from James Madison University?
Every school across the nation wants to be able to host ESPN’s College GameDay. It’s the best sports show on TV and it’s a chance for a program to show off their pride in front of a national audience each week.
The signs, celebrities and the hours leading up to the week of college football at hand give fans everything they want. For those that live on the west coast, it’s an early start when the show comes to town. For the east coast, it’s business as usual.
This week, it’s a bit of rarity. The FCS will get their chance to shine this week and the show will be going to James Madison University. The defending FCS champs are playing host to Villanova and will get their chance to shine as well.

College GameDay is no stranger at all to FCS Schools and has even been to James Madison before. It’s important that every school gets their chance and not just the big programs that take precedent week after week.
As is tradition on the show each week, there will be a celebrity picker. It’s hard to say who from a couple of FCS programs will be the picker however. In fact, this might be the toughest one to speculate upon so maybe a former player from the program or the championship team that is graduated now.
