ESPN College GameDay is coming back to Clemson, as the undefeated Tigers host a showdown with Florida State next Saturday. GameDay opened the 2013 season at Clemson for the Tigers' win over Georgia.
Next week will mark 1st time ever that @collegegameday will go to the same site twice within the 1st 8 weeks of a season. #clemson

GameDay hasn't been to the same site twice in a season since 2007, when they went to both Oregon and LSU twice. It makes sense why they're returning, as the matchup between the Tigers and the Seminoles will be between two teams with legitimate national title aspirations. The loser will have those aspirations go up in smoke, while the winner will have gotten past the biggest obstacle on their schedule.
This will be only the third time GameDay has gone to Clemson, and they're 2-0 as hosts. However, they've lost each of the other five times they've appeared in College GameDay games. Florida State, meanwhile, is 11-14 all time in GameDay host site games.
