College GameDay announces FCS location for Week 7 show
ESPN’s College GameDay made waves a couple of weeks ago when it went to Times Square, and now the interesting locations will continue.
The popular show will be hosted from the campus of an FCS school ahead of Week 7’s slate of games.
James Madison, the school with the longest current winning streak in Division I, will play host to the GameDay crew next Saturday morning:
#1 in FCS? Check. Longest win streak in D1? Check. @CollegeGameDay to @JMUSports again? Check. Show us what you got, Dukes!

The Dukes are 5-0 this season with a win over East Carolina on their resume. They’ll host a 4-2 Villanova squad this coming weekend.
The October slate of SEC games leaves a lot to be desired, so it’s not surprising the GameDay show would look elsewhere.
With the only top-25 matchup coming between USC and Utah in Los Angeles, it’s perhaps not surprising that the show chose this week to dip into the FCS ranks.
