— ESPN PR (@ESPNPR) December 20, 2024There’s many plausible reasons for the spike in ratings for College GameDay this season. Interest in college football has certainly been up this season as the sport transitions to a 12-team College Football Playoff, which begins on Friday night in South Bend.
There’s also College GameDay’s rejuvenated cast, which now includes former Alabama coach Nick Saban. This was Saban’s first season as a member of the GameDay crew. It was also the second season for Pat McAfee to be on the desk alongside the likes of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso.
College GameDay’s season isn’t quite over, however. The show will air twice this weekend during the first round of the College Football Playoff. The first show is scheduled for Friday afternoon in South Bend ahead of Indiana-Notre Dame. Then, GameDay will be in Columbus, Ohio, for Saturday night’s contest between Ohio State and Tennessee. That show will air during its traditional Saturday morning time slot.
