From time to time the Gameday crew will also go to a game "off the beaten path". Week 12 or Week 6 seem the most likely to me based off of the relative lack of big games to choose from.

Additionally, the producers PREFER to go to a game covered by ABC/ESPN, but will go to a game covered by a competing network if the matchup is more compelling than the games on their own network.

Lastly, it is uncommon for the Gameday crew to go to the same site more than once in a season. For the purposes of this exercise, it was difficult to justify putting another game over the game in Ann Arbor for weeks 13 and 8; I certainly understand if your own predictions do not repeat any home venues.

I could see week 3 being Iowa at Iowa St. They'll both likely be top 25 and I don't think they've ever been to Ames .

It's on FS1
Yeah I know
.I just know they've been making a concerted effort on recent years to get to places they've never been and the other week 3 games aren't really barn burners either

I would suspect there's more national interest in seeing a ranked P5 team play @ UCF than the Cyhawk game, but maybe I'm wrong.

No you're probably right I was just thinking outside the box on some other games

I think Week 12 ends up being Wisconsin at Nebraska, as that's a game that could very well decide the B1G West, and I think week 13 ends up being Texas A&M at Georgia.

Once you get past about week 3, the outcome of previous games might eliminate some of the games that at this point seem compelling. Upsets do happen.
