GameDay is coming to Columbus.

ESPN's college football pregame show will be on campus next weekend to preview Ohio State's top-10 showdown with Michigan State as the teams battle with Big Ten title and College Football Playoff hopes on the line.

This marks the first time College GameDay has been on-site for an Ohio State game since Halloween last season when the Buckeyes beat Penn State 38-25 in Happy Valley – in an empty stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GameDay hasn't been to Columbus since Nov. 23, 2019 when the Buckeyes beat Penn State 28-17.

The last time GameDay was in Columbus for an Ohio State vs. Michigan State game was Nov. 21, 2015, when the Spartans spoiled the Buckeyes' undefeated season and national title hopes with a 17-14 win in the rain.
