College Gameday Location Set

UPDATE: Commenter redwings8831 posted a link to a press release for the Ohio State-Michigan game from ESPN, and it mentions the specifics about how GameDay will be set up:

Similar to the season’s first show at Virginia Tech, the first half of the program will originate from outside the stadium while Fowler, Corso, Herbstreit and Howard will move inside the stadium for the remainder of the show.
That is good to know. For the second half of the show the crew will move inside the Big House, obviously to give fans a chance to watch the show but at the same time allow them to get to their seats early. Again, thanks to redwings8831 for posting the link.

From The Michigan Daily:
As we speculated earlier this week, the set for College Gameday will be in the parking lot near Michigan Stadium.

It’s the dirt parking lot on the North side of the stadium, near the entrance with the giant Wolverine. Bleachers have been brought in, so I’m guessing if you want to get a seat, you should get there early.
I'm still not sure how ESPN expects to get a reaction when Corso makes his pick considering most people will be in their seats when GameDay is wrapping up, so we'll have to see how that works. Other than that, it'll be cool to see the GameDay crew back in Ann Arbor for the first time since Michigan last won in this rivalry back in 2003.

The last statement at the bottom of the page says the first half of the show is outside of the stadium and that they will move inside for the second half of the show. This is similar to what they did at VaTech on week 1, if anyone watched.
