ESPN's 'College GameDay' returns to Columbus for Ohio State vs. Michigan

ESPN's "College GameDay" is heading back to Columbus.

The ESPN college football pregame show will be on Ohio State University's campus prior to the Buckeyes' matchup with Michigan Saturday at noon on FOX.

FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" will also be on campus for Ohio State vs. Michigan.

"College GameDay" was on Ohio State's campus before the Buckeyes' season-opening win against Notre Dame with special guest-picker Jack Harlow.

Ohio State and Michigan will meet as two perfect 11-0 teams for the first time since 2006.

Ohio State vs. Michigan: 'elimination game'

Prior to Ohio State's win against Maryland, former  Michigan wide receiver, Heisman Trophy winner and "College GameDay" analyst Desmond Howard said he feels Ohio State vs. Michigan is an "elimination game" for the Playoff.

Former Indianapolis Colts punter and "College GameDay" analyst Pat McAfee seemingly already called his shot for Ohio State vs. Michigan.

"The Ohio State team, I think, is stacked," McAfee said. "I feel good about them next week."

Lee Corso also has the Buckeyes beating the Wolverines Nov. 26, putting Ohio State in his final four along with Georgia, Tennessee and USC.

But McAfee and former Ohio State quarterback and "College GameDay" analyst Kirk Herbstreit agreed that if Ohio State loses to Michigan, it would not likely make the top four in the Playoff.
