It may be pitch black outside when the cameras start rolling, but there is a reason that ESPN’s “College GameDay” keeps coming back to Eugene, Oregon, year after year. The crowd brings the electricity, and it is routinely among the best environments in all of college football.
“GameDay” made its 13th appearance on Oregon’s campus on Saturday morning ahead of the top-10 showdown between the No. 2 Oregon Ducks and No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers. This elite matchup will give one team an inside track to the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. Both teams have impressive wins over ranked teams like the Illinois Fighting Illini and Penn State Nittany Lions. However, we are still looking for another “prove-it” opportunity for the Ducks and the Hoosiers before crowning them true national championship favorites.
While the game is going to be electric later today, the crowd brought the energy early on, with signs and chants that reverberated through the TV. Here’s a look at the top signs and moments from Saturday morning:
