ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot is set for its ninth road show of the 2020 season, originating from South Bend, Ind., ahead of a matchup between two undefeated teams as No. 4 Notre Dame hosts No. 1 Clemson. The three-hour traveling pregame show (9 a.m. – noon ET) will air on ESPN and ESPNU as it does each Saturday throughout the season.
The 11-time Emmy Award-winning show is hosted by Rece Davis, who is joined by Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, David Pollack, Maria Taylor and Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica, with Lee Corso joining the show live from his home. Additional contributors throughout the season include Jen Lada, Pat McAfee, Tom Rinaldi and Gene Wojciechowski.
The show precedes a full slate of action across ESPN networks, beginning at noon. Herbstreit and Taylor will join Chris Fowler for the call of ABC’s Saturday Night Football featuring Stanford at No. 12 Oregon, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Show Highlights

- The State of Michigan – Fairly or unfairly, Jim Harbaugh once was hailed not only as a Victor, but as a savior of Michigan football. But in this, his sixth season as the Wolverines head coach, Harbaugh’s critics openly ask: Is he still the right man for the job? Reporter: Gene Wojciechowski
