ESPN's Rece Davis ranks his top 5 College GameDay locations
Every week, the ESPN College GameDay crew gets to go to a college campus and host that week’s football pregame show.
It’s a popular program and a lot of fun for the fans involved. But, obviously, some schools do it better than others, both from a setup standpoint and fan turnout.
On ESPN’s “Get Up” on Wednesday morning, GameDay host Rece Davis revealed his top five locations for the show, and LSU came in at No. 5:

There may be some recency bias with TCU, since the show was just there last week. James Madison is also an interesting one, though that was quite a show last year.
LSU, though, is a solid choice, and we’ll have to see if the program ends up back there this year — perhaps in Week 7 when the Georgia Bulldogs come to town.
Coming in at 235th, BamaTime’s local community college!
Geaux Tigers, baby!
Those all suck excepting LSU. Such is the consequence of ESPN obstinately refusing to hold Gameday at the best SEC teams because good ol’ CBS has the first dibs (thankfully).
I’ve been to several games at Virginia Tech and I was never that impressed. The stadium is so-so at best. Sure everyone is fired up before and during the game (though since Beamer left maybe not quite so fired up afterwards) and the tailgating is good. There’s just no way it is top 5 in the country.
Can’t imagine what this is based on.
