The show will kick off Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. ET on ESPNU, moving to ESPN proper at 10.
Aug 5, 2011 - College football virtual roadtrippers, your first three dates for the 2011 season are set: ESPN has announced the opening swing across America for the show they apparently still insist on calling "ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot." But it's GameDay, so we won't sass. Much.
The GameDay dates (GameDaytes?) announced so far: Week 1 will open the season in Arlington as LSU and Oregon face off in the JerryDome; Week 2 promises a thoroughly decorous trip to Ann Arbor for Michigan-Notre Dame, and Week 3 drops in on Tallahassee for Florida State vs. Oklahoma.
Once again, for West Coasters or those who like to sleep in, you won't get a chance if you want to lock eyeballs with every too-clever signholder: The show will kick off Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. ET on ESPNU, moving to ESPN proper at 10. Chris, Lee, Kirk, and Desmond will be joined by Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, and in an especially shiny twist for the show's 25th season, the Worldwide Leader will bring David Pollack on board to up the hair game.

Boo.
Alabama/Penn State would be a better GameDay in State College.
Michigan-Notre Dame is just another cripple fight.

I couldn’t agree with you more…

Problems with Bama-PSU are (1) they just did it last year
(2) the game was terribly uncompelling to watch and (3) most people assume this year will be a cakewalk for Bama as well. Watching JoePa be competitive is fun; watching him get embarrassed is not.
My homer pick would be Miss St.-Auburn. Two top 25 teams in a revenge match after last year’s close game and lots of nice side storylines: Cam Newton recruitment revisited, Toomer’s/Harvey Updike revisited, Auburn winning the Fulmer Cup in the offseason, Dan Mullen “era” year two, MSU coming of the crushing of Michigan, Auburn as “the defending national champions” (get them early before they have three losses!), and plenty of quirky college-only traditions on both sides (War Eagle, Toomer’s, cowbells, etc.).

Michigan vs Notre Dame
Really?! All this match up provides is a game between over-hyped and over-ranked opponents that will be fighting for bowl games at the end of the season. Maybe Notre Dame could be good but Michigan will be terrible. There are a lot of games that would be more exciting than this.
