College GameDay Heading to Columbus for Ohio State vs. Penn State Next Week

One of the premier Big Ten matchups of the season will take place in Columbus next Saturday.

ESPN’s College GameDay is heading to Columbus next Saturday for a top 10- showdown between unbeaten Ohio State and unbeaten Penn State.

No. 3 Ohio State took care of business during the noon slate on Saturday against Purdue, cruising to a 41–7 victory in West Lafayette. No. 6 Penn State is leading UMass in Happy Valley 56–0 in the 4th quarter at the time of this writing.

As such, GameDay made the announcement that it will once again head to Columbus, which is an annual occasion these days given the state of the Buckeyes’ football program.

The two schools last met on Oct. 29, 2022, a game that No. 4 Ohio State won 44–31 over No. 7 Penn State in Happy Valley. 

Next Saturday’s tilt will have plenty of College Football Playoff implications, as the winner will be in great position to have a leg up in the Big Ten East, with No. 2 Michigan still on the docket for the winner later in the regular season.
