Not a chance, game is on NBC, no way they promote a game thats not on their network

So far this year:

Florida State vs. Alabama in Atlanta on ABC
Oklahoma @ Ohio State on ABC
Clemson @ Louisville on ABC
(Times Square)
Clemson @ Virginia Tech on ABC
West Virginia @ TCU on FS1
(FCS)
Michigan @ Penn State on ABC

Let's go back to last year just because:

LSU vs. Wisconsin in Green Bay on ABC
Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee in Bristol on ABC
Florida State @ Louisville on ESPN
Florida @ Tennessee on CBS
Louisville @ Clemson on ABC
Tennessee @ Texas A&M on CBS
Ohio State @ Wisconsin on ABC
Texas A&M @ Alabama on CBS
Washington @ Utah on FS1
Alabama @ LSU on CBS
USC @ Washington on FOX
Buffalo @ Western Michigan on ESPNU
Michigan @ Ohio State on ABC



So 7 of the last 19 GameDays have been for games not on ABC/ESPN (not counting postseason stuff, because they went to the B1G Championship site even though that's on FOX too).

There's the added factor that if they EVER want to go to South Bend, those games are guaranteed to be on NBC every time. On the other hand, it doesn't look like they go to the same place twice in one year (though they feature the same schools multiple times). So I'm thinking it will be NC State-ND, but I'd wager TCU-Iowa State before I would guess Penn State-Ohio State.

Wow great research! I was wrong!

I don't know about a guest picker or college gameday, but the stadium this saturday better be over capacity, louder, crazier, more hostile, raucous, viscous, nastier, meaner, uglier, drunker, angrier, than we've ever seen before. We owe it to this team.

Found this on the selection process. I would think the ISU story would be pretty compelling with the turnaround and battle for first in the conference.

Celebrity guest picker? How about someone ESPN knows? Someone who's not afraid to tell Herby "**** you"?

How about Sam Ponder as guest picker? Doesn't she like coming to Ames?
