ESPN's College GameDay will be on-site at the Big Ten matchup between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington, Indiana, on Saturday. This selection is notable as it's just the second time this season that College GameDay has not chosen a game between ranked teams, with Indiana favored by 20.5 points. The decision has raised eyebrows given other marquee matchups available, including No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 17 Florida and a critical Big 12 game between Texas Tech and Arizona. The choice may also accommodate the schedule of panelist Kirk Herbstreit, who is set to call the Florida-Georgia game shortly after.
