My guess is that this game might be the favorite for hosting Gameday. There are a couple of decent conference matchups with GA vs SC and USC vs Stanford, but that's about it. Other decent non-con games this weekend include UCLA at Oklahoma (no Rosen or Mayfield), Michigan State at Arizona State (too hot) or Clemson at Texas A&M (possible).
Even though it's three weeks before OSU at PSU, and that would likely be another target, ESPN did have OSU on two weeks apart last year (at Indiana and home vs Okalhoma) - and again against us in October.
The last time Pitt hosted Gameday was in 2005 (L 42-21 to ND), with 2003 being the only other time (W 31-28 vs VaTech).
Having them there will certainly add to the excitement and start the hype early in the season for PSU.
Does anyone know where they set up Gameday in 2005?
