ESPN College GameDay is going to a very familiar location next week for a battle of two of the top 10 teams in the country.
During ABC’s broadcast of the Oregon-Washington game, ESPN announced that GameDay will be in Columbus, Ohio for the big game between No. 6 Penn State and No. 3 Ohio State. It will be the second time that Ohio State will be featured on the show after last month’s Notre Dame game in South Bend.
Ohio State are 6-0 and have a dominant defense that has yet to allow more than 17 points in a game. The only reason they’re not ranked higher than No. 3 right now is because their offense keeps getting off to these very slow starts.
Penn State are no slouches either though. Their defense has yet to allow more than 15 points in a game and has scored at least 30 points in each of their games so far.
It’s going to be a true battle of unstoppable forces and immovable objects.

The stakes for this game are going to be exceptionally high as well.
Whoever wins the Ohio State-Penn State game is going to have to win out and get some help just to reach the Big Ten Championship Game, let alone reach the College Football Playoff.
As for the winner, they’ll likely supplant Michigan as the No. 2 team in the nation given the strength of the team they beat.
Who do you have winning next weekend’s big game?
