College GameDay will take its show to Harrisonburg, Virginia, on Saturday to highlight No. 18 James Madison.

The Dukes are 10-0 and have a chance to match 2020 Coastal Carolina for the best 11-game start to a season in Sun Belt history when they host Appalachian State. This will be the first visit to James Madison’s campus since 2017 for the traveling pregame show, and they’re bringing an internet celebrity as the guest picker.

James Madison alum and Barstool Sports podcaster Eric Sollenberger — known as PFT Commenter — has been tabbed as the guest picker for the week.

GameDay will broadcast live from James Madison University on Saturday, Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. to noon on the Quad in front of Wilson Hall. The Pat McAfee Show will also broadcast live from the campus on Friday. The Jonas Brothers are scheduled to perform Saturday as well.

James Madison has won four of its last five games by double digits. The Dukes are sitting atop the Sun Belt East standings, but they are not eligible for the conference championship game. The NCAA also rejected a postseason waiver request from the school on Thursday, leaving them ineligible to play in a bowl game unless there are not enough .500 teams to fill all 82 slots.

The decision from the NCAA could potentially cost James Madison a bid in a New Year’s 6 bowl as the highest-ranked Group of 5 team. That will no doubt be a topic of discussion on Saturday’s pregame show.

Kickoff between James Madison and App State is at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
