With the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl coming down to Michigan vs. Ohio State, "The Game" is by far the most intriguing game this coming weekend. Featuring the rivalry is something that College Gameday usually likes to do if both teams are playing for something important, and with this year being no different, it is expected that College Gameday will be in town on Saturday.
Although it isn't confirmed yet, I would say that there is a 99.9% chance that Gameday is in Ann Arbor for the Michigan-Ohio State game, although I have no idea where the location of the show will be. Normally, College Gameday is set up in the golf course across the street from Michigan Stadium, but with this game being a noon start, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up somewhere else. Since the show runs from 10 to 12 ET, kickoff would be starting right when the show was ending, and I doubt ESPN wants a small crowd when Corso makes his pick assuming people left the show to get to their seats in time for the game.
With that being said, I really wish that kickoff was a 1:00 start so fans could attend Gameday and then still have an hour to get to their seats, which is plenty of time. Otherwise, the set for the show would have to be in the stadium, and although it has been done before, I'm not sure it would work for this game with the crowd expected to be bigger than normal.
Stay tuned for details on this as they are released.

I don't remember exactly which year (but I think 2001) Gameday filmed from just inside the gate on the north side of the stadium.
GameDay has been everywhere there is to be around the Stadium. They've set up in the Crisler parking lot, two or three locations around the Stadium concourse, the outer Crisler concourse overlooking the entrance to the tunnel, the Golf Course, amongst others.
And, yes, they will be in Ann Arbor again on Saturday- the band was told on Thursday that they would be here, and would be at a pep rally on Friday on the Diag.
I thought that they had gameday on Pioneer grounds? Like on the old soccer field right across from the stadium.
