Being at Oregon for a second time this year, have they ever done that before?

Yes, ESPN's College GameDay has visited the same location twice in the same football season multiple times throughout its history, though it's relatively uncommon and often draws fan criticism for lacking variety.Historical ExamplesOhio State University (Columbus, OH): Hosted twice in 2002, 2003, and 2006. It's the only school to appear in three GameDay episodes in a single season (non-consecutive weeks).
LSU (Baton Rouge, LA): Visited twice in 2007 during the regular season (for games against Virginia Tech and Florida).
Clemson University (Clemson, SC): Visited twice in 2013.
Florida State University (Tallahassee, FL): Visited twice in 2014 (for games against Clemson and Notre Dame), marking the third instance of a repeat visit in the first eight weeks of a season up to that point.
University of Oregon (Eugene, OR): Visited twice in 2007 and again in 2025 (for USC at Oregon in Week 13, following an earlier visit for Indiana at Oregon in Week 7).
These repeats typically occur when a team's late-season games align with high-stakes matchups, such as top-25 clashes or playoff implications. However, fans and analysts often view it as an "unwritten rule" to avoid repeats during the regular season to spotlight more programsespecially Group of 5 or FCS teams. Despite this, ESPN prioritizes the biggest games, leading to repeats in about 5-10% of seasons based on historical data.In the current 2025 season (as of November 22), Oregon's repeat visit is the first of the year and has sparked backlash on social media, with users arguing it overlooks unique rivalries like Montana vs. Montana State.

I think the saban-mcafee dynamic is pretty funny. They should lean into it more.

With USC v Ducks basically being a play in game for the playoff it makes sense
I think Georgia tech would have been a better choice

Is there a chance they go to the game next week or no cause it's on Friday? I forget if they'd do Friday games or not.
