One of the nation’s biggest Week 1 games just got even bigger.
On Thursday during Gus Malzahn’s SEC Media Days appearance, ESPN’s pregame show “College GameDay” announced that it would be present for the Auburn-Oregon non-conference showdown.
Auburn and Oregon will be a top 25 matchup, with most projecting both teams to be in the 10-25 range of the AP Top 25, which will be unveiled in August. It’s the first meeting since Auburn’s 22-19 win the BCS National Championship Game in 2011.
The Tigers and Ducks will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on August 31, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
