Where is College GameDay this week? Week 9 schedule, location, TV and guest picker

Last week, ESPN College GameDay took place at Ohio Stadium in Week 8 for the huge Big Ten game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Penn State Nittany Lions. The Buckeyes picked up the 20-12 victory in rather decisive fashion, keeping them inside the College Football Playoff picture, while Penn State dropped to the No. 10 spot in the AP Top 25.

There were other substantial happenings in Week 8, such as the USC Trojans losing their second game of the season against the Utah Utes, the Florida State Seminoles keeping their undefeated season alive with a win over the Duke Blue Devils, and the Washington Huskies surviving an upset scare against the Arizona State Sun Devils.

So, where will Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee be for Week 9 for College GameDay?

College GameDay location for Week 9

On Sunday afternoon, ESPN College GameDay announced the show will be heading to the University of Utah for the No. 13 Utes' game against the No. 8 Oregon Ducks.

As mentioned earlier, Utah handed USC their second loss of the season with a 34-32 victory on a game-winning, 38-yard field goal by Cole Becker.

Oregon cruised to a 38-24 win over the Washington State Cougars in Week 8. A good rebound after losing a nail-biter to the Washington Huskies the week prior.

Now, this game will carry Pac-12 Championship Game aspirations. With USC now having two losses, the winner between Utah and Oregon will likely be in a position to make the conference title game. Of course, things can change, considering how tough the schedule is for both teams and for undefeated Washington down the stretch.
