The appearance will mark the 41st for College GameDay ahead of an Ohio State game, putting the Buckeyes second on the all-time list of appearances per school. Alabama leads all schools with 42 GameDay appearances prior to their games. Ohio State does have a slight edge over Alabama when it comes to hosting the event on campus, with 17 College GameDay appearances in Columbus and 16 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

GameDay was last at an Ohio State game on Oct. 28, 2017, when Penn State came to Ohio Stadium. The Buckeyes emerged from that affair winners of a 39-38 comeback.
The traveling roadshow was on hand for three Ohio State games last season. In addition to the Penn State game, ESPN was on site for Ohio State's opener at Indiana and for the Buckeyes' matchup against No. 6 Oklahoma in 2017. Ohio State went 2–1 in games played at the site of College GameDay last year.
The last time GameDay preceded an Ohio State game in the state of Texas, the Buckeyes went on to top Oregon in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game.
