Where is College GameDay this week? ESPN and College GameDay hit the road again this weekend, planting their flag in Big Ten country in anticipation of the big showdown between Ohio State and Michigan from The Big House.

The network’s flagship college football program will air live from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, Nov. 29 ahead of the undefeated Buckeyes’ showdown against the Wolverines in one of this weekend’s most consequential Rivalry Week matchups.

What happens on the field between Ohio State and Michigan usually matters on the national stage, and that remains the case in 2025.

The reigning national champion Buckeyes are the top-ranked team in college football, but have dropped four straight games against the arch-rival Wolverines.

Michigan wants to not only make it five in a row, but carve out a potential path for itself in the College Football Playoff conversation with what would be the best win in the country this year on paper.

Ohio State and Michigan are not the only rivals facing off in an action-packed regular season finale.

Alabama hits the road in the 2025 Iron Bowl game against Auburn looking to play into the SEC Championship Game and avoid what would be potential elimination from College Football Playoff consideration, already sitting at two losses.

Miami remains the highest-ranked team in the ACC according to the selection committee, but it has quite a road to make the conference title game as it goes to conference hopeful Pittsburgh.

Big Ten playoff contender Oregon also closes away from home, facing a credible challenger in rival Washington, as the Ducks look to stay at one loss and remain in the playoff bracket.

Oklahoma has two losses and no room for error as it hosts four-loss, upset-minded LSU, but hopes to ride a dominant defense to what should be inclusion in the playoff with a win.

In-state SEC rivals Vanderbilt and Tennessee square off on Rocky Top with each team ranked and on the same field for the first time ever. Vandy could get back into the playoff mix with a win.

Virginia will clinch a place in the ACC Championship Game if it can take down Virginia Tech.
