ESPN’s College GameDay took its show to Waco, Texas for the first time ever on Saturday for No. 6 Baylor’s critical season finale against No. 9 Kansas State. Baylor is the 64th different school to host the show since it began originating from campuses across the nation in 1993.
The Bears are involved in one of the more controversial storylines in college football this week, involving themselves, the TCU Horned Frogs and a potential playoff berth this winter. Baylor fans attended Saturday’s show in masses with one goal in mind — to prove the Bears deserve a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff — and that mission statement inspired some of the most clever GameDay signs we’ve seen all season.
In case you missed them, here are some of the most creative signs from the GameDay set Saturday morning:
