ESPN's "College GameDay" is headed to Death Valley.
The highly anticipated SEC matchup between No. 13 LSU and No. 11 Alabama is bringing the "College GameDay" crew out to Baton Rouge this weekend, marking the 13th time the show has featured a matchup between the two schools, tied with Ohio State vs. Penn State for the most "College GameDay" matchups of all time (13).
This is a pivotal matchup for LSU and Alabama, which are both looking to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive with a win. LSU (6-2) is currently outside looking in the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket after the selection committee ranked the Tigers No. 15 in the first of six official rankings. Alabama (6-2), on the other hand, earned the No. 11 seed in the first bracket.
Here's what to know for the eighth "College GameDay" of the season.
"College GameDay" is set to broadcast live from Baton Rouge at LSU's Quad, adjacent to Tiger Stadium, on Saturday for the 14th time in the pregame show's history. It will mark the "GameDay" crew's first time back to Baton Rouge since October 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to a 42-28 win over the Florida Gators.
LSU royalty will be in the house. Power couple Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne will serve as the Week 11 guest pickers on "College GameDay." Skenes, a pitcher, led the Tigers to a College World Series championship in 2023 before he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the first overall pick of the 2023 MLB draft. Dunne, a gymnast, helped the LSU gymnastics team win its first national championship in program history in April and is returning to the team for another year.
"College GameDay" will air from 9 a.m. ET to noon ET on Saturday, Nov. 9.
"College GameDay" will air on ESPN and be available to stream on ESPN+ and Fubo.
