Every Saturday, fans flock to the site of ESPN’s “College GameDay” show.

Rece Davis is joined each weekend by Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Lee Corso to break down all things college football. The guys analyze the day’s top storylines, speak to coaches and fans and even make a few picks on the day’s games. As they make picks, the show’s cast is joined by a celebrity guest picker.

This season, the crew has been joined by former Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, rapper Jack Harlow, WWE Superstar Bianca Belair, actor Glen Powell, and country singer Luke Combs.

This week, “College GameDay” makes a stop in Lawrence ahead of Kansas football’s game against TCU. The No. 17 Jayhawks are looking to go 6-0 when they take on the undefeated Horned Frogs, who are ranked No. 18 in this week's USA Today Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.

KU football coach Lance Leipold and Kansas basketball coach Bill Self will also appear on 'College GameDay'

This is "College GameDay's" first-ever appearance in Lawrence, so it might as well feature some of the biggest names in Jayhawk athletics.

Leipold's undefeated squad finds itself ranked in the top 25 for the first time in more than a decade, while Self's basketball program is fresh off a national championship run.
