College GameDay was live in State College, Pennsylvania, on Saturday morning ahead of a top-6 showdown between Penn State and Oregon on Saturday night.
That might be the highest-ranked game of the day, but in the SEC, we have a loaded slate as well. Alabama heads to Georgia on Saturday night, with Ole Miss hosting LSU as the mid-afternoon appetizer.
