Georgia Bulldogs fans aren’t thrilled with ESPN’s “College GameDay” after it announced that GameDay would attend the Oregon Ducks at Penn State Nittany Lions game in Week 5. GameDay picked the Oregon-Penn State game over the Alabama Crimson Tide at Georgia Bulldogs game.
The Alabama game was Georgia’s first good chance to have GameDay come to Athens, Georgia, this season. GameDay still could come to the University of Georgia for home games against Texas and/or Ole Miss later in the season. However, this one stings for Georgia fans that were hoping to attend the show.

The GameDay crew did recently attend the Georgia at Tennessee game, but that was at Tennessee’s campus, so most Georgia fans missed out on that experience. Of course, Georgia fans can still look forward to the Alabama game, but GameDay is the favorite pregame show for most college football fans.
Entering 2025, GameDay has come to Athens at least once for for six straight seasons. The last time GameDay went to Athens was for the Tennessee at Georgia game on Nov. 16, 2024.
How Georgia fans and more reacted to GameDay’s snub
“Over GEORGIA-BAMA?!?” one Georgia football account questioned. “I don’t care what anyone says…whenever Georgia and Alabama meet, THAT is the game. Shame!!”

“WHAT?!?! Over Georgia and Alabama?!?”one Georgia fan chimed in.
“Thanks, Bama,” added another Georgia fan. Alabama lost in Week 1 at Florida State, so that makes the Georgia-Alabama game a clash between two teams that aren’t undefeated. Both Oregon (4-0) and Penn State (3-0) are undefeated.
“Correct choice,” one fan stated. Oregon is No. 5 and Penn State is No. 2 in the Coaches Poll, so it is understandable why GameDay picked the Oregon-Penn State game.
“Over a top 10 SEC matchup between LSU and Ole Miss in Oxford?” another fan questioned. “Woof.” There were a lot of good games in Week 5 for GameDay to chose among, so inevitably all fans weren’t going to be happy.
