ESPN College Gameday

[Cannic88]

What if...UNI and Wichita State when out till we play each other on January 31st...could potentially be a Top 15 matchup...chances Gameday comes to Cedar Falls? Only other game I might see them choose is Duke at Virginia...but UNI vs. Wichita State would be intriguing.

Now...we have to win out till then though

Re: ESPN College Gameday

I'd love it, but Duke/Virginia will be tough for them to pass up. They've never been to Virginia and it could be a top 5 matchup (top 10 at the worst).

Re: ESPN College Gameday

The last game at Wichita is probably more likely, assuming both teams can get their with 1-2 conferences losses. Most of the P5 big games/rivalries are the following week. Arizona at Utah is probably the biggest competition at this point.

Re: ESPN College Gameday

It will be duke virginia. They have a flexible time for that date

Re: ESPN College Gameday

Where are you seeing that? Duke's website says ESPN and Virginia's says ESPN or ESPN2.

I would think it would be on ESPN, but ESPNs website says TBD, while many other games, including ours, say ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU. Unless they don't officially announce it until they know the game time, which also says TBD.

Wasn't game day at WSU last year or maybe the previous year? Why do i remember them being at WSU sometime recently.

Re: ESPN College Gameday

GameDay has not been to WSU yet. Although ESPN already announced that the WSU vs UNI game in Wichita is in consideration with a few other games. Gonna be tough to get it to happen over the other possible games, but if both continue to stay ranked and separate themselves...who knows?

In fairness that was in October with the "hype" of WSUs recent success.

If we win vs. WSU when they come to CF, I could see it as a real possibility for Feb. 28

Re: ESPN College Gameday

ESPN picks possible games months in advance and doesn't do much (if any) rescheduling.

This article mentions that for the first 6 weeks of the show, ESPN can only pick between 2 flex-games: http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-bas...ge-basketballl

January 31st is Week 3 and I doubt Wichita State @ UNI is one of the 2 games being considered.

The two games for that day are Duke @ UVA and UNC @ Louisville. Gameday isn't coming to UNI.

The decision for GameDay to comes to Ames was made a few weeks ago. It was known to be a possibility, but the Louisville/Duke game was still a possibility until very recently.

I don't believe the Louisville/Duke game was ever a possiblity. Their game was set for Noon since the beginning of the season. The only other possible game would have been WVU/Texas. That game and the ISU game were the only flex games on the schedule.
I remember because Louisville fans were all upset since their game wasn't even considered.
