Will GameDay be in Knoxville this year?

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I think they’re going to Austin on Oct 19th no matter what happens this weekend.

I think you're right. But if Oklahoma beats Texas and Alabama beats Georgia then that would be two 1-loss teams meeting in Austin versus two undefeated teams in Neyland.

Oklahoma and Texas have had a knack of beating each other even when one is perceived to be the far better team. I think Oklahoma has a good chance of upsetting Texas and I got Alabama beating Georgia this Saturday.

Gameday will likely go to UGA at Texas unless one of em somehow lose before our game against Bama

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

If Tennessee beats Arkansas and Florida, I really do think Game Day comes to Knoxville since I would be floored if they weren't at the Cotton Bowl for Texas vs. Oklahoma on October 12th. Game Day can of course feature the same school two weeks in a row, I just don't see it happening.

 

[VolFanatic27]

Unless bama thumps ga (unlikely) or OU beats tex (also unlikely), there’s no way they pick us over that matchup.

 

[IndianaVol]

If we are both undefeated, I don't see how GameDay isn't in Knoxville for TSIO other than that UGA/TX game.

Only other time I see them coming to Knoxville is if we beat Bama and UK is a night game.
But we would probably lose that to a B1G game - either Penn St/ OSU or Oregon/Michigan.

Anything can happen. Personally, I think Georgia wins by at least a TD tonight. No matter what, I'm enjoying these types of conversations involving the Vols for a change - 2008-2020 was brutal.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Not likely. Small chance if Bama beats UGA and we're both undefeated.

This is the best chance because in that case, the TSIO is a battle of unbeatens, while Texas-Georgia is not.

“Go Vols” sign on game day in Tuscaloosa is awesome… lots of air time behind Nick

If UT Bama and Tex are all undefeated and uga is one loss, that’ll be two games between top 5 teams. I’m sure it’s happened before, but it certainly isn’t very often in season. Both game settings are really attractive for ESPN. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try and do some kind “both/and” with a split crew.

SEC Nation > Gameday.

This would be wise.

 

[Volador]

Yep.

Chuck - you are wise beyond your few years on this planet

 

[anbailey76]

The two possibilities are: 1) Bama beats GA and we're both undefeated on Oct 19th. 2) GA beats Bama and so do we, and we're both undefeated when we go to Athens. My gut tells me one or the other, but not both. GO VOLS!!!

 

[UTK]

if Bama and UT are both undefeated when they play them yes, if not..nope.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

This is kind of my feeling. If Georgia and Texas are both undefeated they will go there, if Tennessee and Bama are undefeated they will come to Knoxville.

This, if Bama beats Georgia and we are both undefeated they will more than likely come to Knoxville. GBO

 

[nomads-11]

Depends on what happens between now and then, they ought to show up for Bama.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Game day will no doubt be in Knoxville for TSIO. For the better part of 12 years it lurking in the shadows but it is back now. There is no greater spectacle in sports. Best rivalry in sports.

It depends. If Georgia and Texas are undefeated they will 100% be there

 

[Vols1966]

Just curious.
TN vs Ala without CGD present

How much does College Gameday being in town bring into the local economy?

I could give a rats bedonka donk if they do or not.
