Week 1 of the college football season is in the books, and it was a good one. As was College GameDay's first broadcast of 2024 that took place in the United States.

After kicking off Week 0 in Dublin, the GameDay crew was in College Station last weekend ahead of Notre Dame's defeat of Texas A&M. Lee Corso made his first appearance of the season alongside Kirk Herbstreit, Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban. Much fun was had.

The college football world's eyes now look forward to Week 2.

Where is College GameDay this week?

For Week 2, College GameDay will return to Ann Arbor to preside over the highly-anticipated matchup between No. 9 Michigan and No. 4 Texas. It is rare to get a top-10 matchup this early in the season and ESPN is capitalizing by sending its top guys to the mitten.

It's a familiar location for the set. Michigan has hosted GameDay a whopping 14 times, more than almost any other school. The only universities with more College GameDay Saturdays are Ohio State and Alabama. The Wolverines are 21-18 when appearing on GameDay.
