ESPN’s College GameDay announced its Week 8 location, and for the first time this season, the popular pregame show will head to the West Coast.
The show will be on site for the Oregon at UCLA game, as it’s also a 3:30 p.m. ET game on ABC. Oregon is 5-1, while UCLA is 5-2. The Ducks are coming off a Friday night win over California, 24-17. It was a bounce back from the loss to Stanford on Oct. 2.
The Bruins, meanwhile, beat Washington on Saturday, 24-17, and have won 2 straight since a loss to Arizona State on Oct. 2.
Oregon is considered a top 10 team, and this matchup should go a long ways toward determining if a Pac-12 team will be in the mix for the College Football Playoff. Oregon appeared to carry that title until the loss to Stanford.
