Minnesota to Host College Game Day?

[Isualum13]

So, Minnesota will almost certainly be the host for college game day when their matchup with Penn State arrives on 11/9 right? They are unlikely to lose before then with games against the mighty Rutgers and Terrapins. Penn State will likely not have more than 1 loss and I think will likely be undefeated as well. They have a slightly more difficult road with games against Michigan and Michigan State.

Minnesota has certainly benefitted from a cupcake schedule, but they have taken care of business. It was fun to see them kick Nebraska's ass also. It would be their first time hosting.

I'll throw money on Maryland moneyline

Color me skeptical. #1 Alabama plays #2 LSU that day.

Yeah but ESPN never chooses a non ESPN game site.

Soooo I voted before I knew this.

Yeah, but would you rather be in Minnesota in November or .... ya know, never mind the rest of what I was gonna say.

Yeah, but just as Iowa State did. Minnesota has the whole 'never been there before' thing going for them. And ESPN nearly has a boner as big for the big 10 as they do for the SEC. By gameday, it very well could be a top 10 (at least top 15) matchup too.

College Gameday has visited the Alabama-LSU matchup in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2018. So that's six out of the last eight years.

Good luck.

They absolutely should go to Minneapolis, but I doubt they do. New schools are so much better than another Saturday at Ohio State or Alabama

 

[mj4cy]

I think that would be awesome if they went to Minneapolis but probably need Alabama or LSU to stub their toe first.

Minnesota also hosts Wisconsin late in November.

If Minne makes it to that game undefeated, that could be a really good game. They'll have to beat Pedo State and @TOE to get there.

Yeah as much as we rag on Iowa, I can't see Minnesota going into Kinnick and winning but who knows. Credit to Minnesota for winning the games on their schedule.

I'm not sure I trust much outside of Ohio State and Wisconsin yet.

Like a poster has said. I expect the wheels to fall of in one of the next two games. At about this time in an undefeated year a team starts to believe their own headlines. Much better teams and programs have this issue, and Minnesota now has a target on them.

 

[JM4CY]

I see Minnesota having an ok year record wise and then absolutely getting taken behind the woodshed in their bowl game. Kinda the Iowa fake Id treatment.

 

[WIBadger]

I’d love for Minnesota to host against penn state, but like mj4cy, I don’t see how they do it unless Alabama or LSU loses.

I’m going to be at that game and it would be amazing for gameday to be there. But that’s rivalry weekend so I just see there being too much competition for that game

It won't be Bama but LSU still has to play Auburn before they get Bama.

 

[dualthreat]

It's going to be really hard for ESPN to say no to a #1 vs #2 match up. That will make it an easy decision for them.

I have no affliction for Minn at all, but it would be cool to see Gameday spread the love a little bit...

That looks some a pattern.

I don't get the whole gameday shtick popularity. I never watch it. Fun for the folks at the game at that locale with the signs and all but I'm just not a fan of listening to a bunch of jackass talking heads. I don't turn my TV on till the kickoff.
