College Gamdeday for #4 TCU vs. #8 Utah

[Goo]

What are chances for College Gameday going to SLC for #4 TCU vs. #8 Utah.
Gameday hasn't been to a TCU or Utah game this year, despite both spending all season in top-10.
We have two serious competing games, both of which have lesser ranked matchups.

#6 Alabama
#12 LSU

This will be a huge game, but I believe they have already visited one of these schools?

#12 Stanford
#15 Arizona

Surely, they won't pick Pac-10 matchup of two teams out of top 10.

Does game day go where its a afternoon game.I dont know.

I don't think they have ever been to a Utes game, and they seem to give some preference to places they haven't been. Alabama-LSU is big, but the Tigers are #12, not #7. We'll see.

 

[Dman890]

I'd say Alabama/LSU will get it over us for sure.

 

[fdub]

didn't gameday go to Utah in 2004? I think it did...

Alabama/LSU is the CBS 2:30(CT) game on the 6th. I don't think they particularly care about the kickoff time. I think they were at the State Fair for Texas/OU last year.

Your right.Thanks RSF

All of the buses/gear will already be out west for the Oregon/USC game. Easy trip to SLC from there. They have already done a LSU game (neutral site) and an Alabama game (in Tuscaloosa) this season, although this game is in Baton Rouge.

 

[FrogsMcGee]

Also LSU is #12, not #7.

You bet.

Not sure that matters much. They came to FW for the Utah game only 3 weeks after they were in Provo for the TCU/BYU game. Having said that, my guess (or perhaps its a hope) is that if Utah and TCU take care of business this weekend, they'll be in SLC for a battle of 2 undefeated Top 10 teams. Say what you will about ESPN, the choices for CGD tend to put the matchup ahead of whatever else is on ESPN's agenda. And the fact that Utah becomes one of the 'chosen ones' next season can't hurt. :tongue:

What game is Herbie doing? He will have to fly out. Like our game last year although Des got a hall pass.

I think Utah Game Day would be dynamic. We would represent IMO. I know they would.

LSU/Bama will not get gameday over TCU/Utah. They've covered several SEC games already, and they'll probably cover Auburn/Bama at the end of the season.

Week 1: LSU @ UNC
Week 2: Penn State @ Bama
Week 6: Bama @ SC


Someone mentioned the Pac-10 game Stanford v Zona; they went to Stanford @ Oregon week 5. Only way they consider this game over TCU @ Utah is if USC beats Oregon and Stanford is back in the Pac-10 champ race.

Assuming both TCU and Utah win this week, I fully expect to see gameday in Salt Lake. One of the last clashes of undefeateds.

Doesn't rate a new thread, but Gottlieb just called TCU the most under-rated team in the top 10. Cites the dismantling of a pretty good Baylor team and the Air Force beatdown......

 

[TrueUte]

didn't gameday go to Utah in 2004? I think it did...

Yes, Game Day came to SLC in 2004 for the BYU game since it was speculated that if we won we'd be BCS busters. It's the only time they've ever been here.

They went to Missouri and it was a night game.

Also Clemson @ Auburn.

Looks like neither LSU nor Alabama play next week so no more chances to lose, unfortunately. Personally, the Utah/TCU plot line is a hell of a lot more interesting than LSU/Bama one.. But I have this bad feeling that Baton Rouge will get the nod.

 

[KornFrog]

I feel confident we get it, for reasons previously stated, the most important being that they've already given the SEC (and specifically Alabama 2x) a lot of love this year.

I would imagine ESPN is predicting a return to Alabama for Alabama/Auburn at the end of the season. Hopefully, for our sake, that will feature a 2 loss Alabama versus a 1 loss Auburn, but I doubt the talking heads see it that way.

They made the "too much SEC" argument already when they passed up Alabama/Arkansas for Boise/Oregon St. As that has been their only non-AQ game this season, and we are a much more interesting matchup than that was, I don't see anyway they will pass us up.

 

[Get Your Frogs Up]

Auburn plays UT-Chattanooga on November 6th.

I know. The poster was citing SEC games that Game Day has been to this year and I was just adding Clemson @ Auburn because he forgot to include that game.

It is a #7 Alabama v. #12 LSU
and #13 Stanford v. #15 Az. according to the latest BCS rankings.
