The “SEC Nation” crew is rolling into Tuscaloosa for Week 5 of the college football season.
ESPN’s “College GameDay” will set up shop in Athens ahead of a Top 10 battle between No. 2 Georgia and No. 8 Arkansas. But the SEC Network’s crew of Laura Rutledge, Jordan Rodgers, Roman Harper, Tim Tebow, and Paul Finebaum will head to the site of the Alabama-Ole Miss game ahead of its 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS.
Of course, “Marty & McGee” will kick off the morning, with Marty Smith and Ryan McGee broadcasting their show live at 9 a.m. ET before “SEC Nation” gets started at 10 a.m. ET.
Crimson Tide and Rebels fans will feel slighted that GameDay won’t be coming to town for Week 5, but at least they’ll get some screentime on Saturday morning before the game.
Next stop: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ‼️
