Although ESPN’s College GameDay environment is very different in 2020, the popular pre-game screen is heading to a familiar position for week thirteen of the season.
Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack will be in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, an Iron Bowl striker between Alabama and 22 Auburn. Lee Corso, as he has done all season, will sign up for the exhibition from a distance.
This is gameday time for Tuscaloosa in 2020 and fifth for the Iron Bowl in the last 10 years.
And with Alabama aiming for a rivalry win, several other school football playoff clients across the country aim to pay for their résumées this weekend.
Thirteenth week TV show, forecast
Bold predictions.
Summary of week thirteen
Alabama has many qualified replacements on staff, but Crimson Tide will be head coach Nick Saban.
Although he tested positive for coronavirus before the confrontation in Georgia, medical staff decided it was a false positive, but this time Saban showed mild symptoms and protocols dictate a 10-day isolation period.
Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, former head coach in Washington and USC, will oversee Tide.
While it’s not necessarily a “must-have game,” the Iron Bowl is a chance for Alabama to win a quality. Notre Dame has a similar opportunity on Friday’s vacation in North Carolina No. 19, which has one of the most productive offensives in the country. .
Ohio State and Northwestern, leaders of Big Ten, aim to be undefeated this season, being the big favorites against Illinois and Michigan State, respectively.
Clemson, Texas A
In the rest of the country, two force matches have clashes that will influence the league title.
Iowa State can seal a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game with a win over Texas, but if the Longhorns win Friday’s clash, they’ll jump to Iowa State in the standings and come close to forcing a rematch with their rival Oklahoma for the 12th big crowns.
And in Pac-12, Southern Division pioneers USC and Colorado will face off Saturday afternoon. The winner will get a place in the convention name game.
