It's that time of the year.

College football is mere days away from its return, and with that return will come College GameDay—the ESPN studio show that has shaped generations of the sport's fans. The venerable program is getting set for its 38th season, which will double as one of the consequential in the history of college football.

Matching the sport's seismic changes in 2024, College GameDay will add a panelist of renown in newly retired Alabama coach Nick Saban. At its heart, however, it expected that the show will remain the same as it always has been through a litany of past personnel changes.

Here's a rundown of everything you need to know about College GameDay's season-opening episode.
