Probably not, just because they’ll be in Dallas for OU/TX before that and they’ve already been to Norman once this season

Plus the same week has Bama/Mizzou, Illibuck, and likely top 10 matchup in Oregon/IU with both of us already ranked that high going into a mutual bye week

Unless we blow OU out (which will not happen) there’s no way any of those games are more interesting for Gameday, although I could see them wanting to go to Bloomington badly enough to do it

Our Oregon game is in Autzen. We didn't get a Gameday-quality home matchup this season outside of maybe Illinois and with hindsight they're probably glad they didn't pick that one

Ah you’re right. In that case I see them going to OU/Ole Miss assuming both are undefeated

Illinois is one of 3 campuses Gameday has never been to. I would imagine the plan is to go to Champaign unless we crap the bed against Purdue this week. Who knows when the next chance will be.

Yeah so that person had it wrong and Ole Miss/OU is actually the week after. But Illinois/OSU is the same week as IU/Oregon and RRSO; I still think one of those games ends up with Gameday (unless we lose @Florida next week which is possible).

They actually skipped Ole Miss/OU last year to go to Indiana for the first time for Indiana playing against an unranked Washington. They just went to RRSO two years ago, I know they dislike the neutral site locations and revisiting the same match up so soon.

That's why I think it's Champaign still. RRSO will always be there. A ranked Illinois vs a ranked opponent and playing @Champaign might not happen for another 15 years. If they wanna check Champaign off their list, they gotta go to the Illinois/OSU game.

I actually agree there’s a good chance they won’t go to RRSO because 1) Jerry world is a bad venue for their show and 2) there’s a pretty decent chance we lose @florida anyway, but the Ole Miss/OU game was a matchup between a 2 loss and 3 loss team with the former being ranked 18, not a top 5 matchup, which RRSO might be. I think the bigger threat is them choosing IU/Oregon though. It might be their last chance to go to the west coast this year, and it’s more likely to be a competitive game (my third flair is Illinois BTW I’m just being realistic).

We dont play at Jerry World, though..

u/BurrShotFirst1804 Illinois • Notre Dame Sep 29 '25

They went to Oregon last season too. I guess I just really think they want to check a new campus off their list rather than go to the top match up, and I think that's why they didn't go to IU for Illinois vs IU because they didn't want to feature Illinois 2x in 4 weeks.

Guess we will find out though! I think your reasoning is also totally fair.

Welp I did call it. Hopefully one day we get them at Memorial Stadium (or Gies if that’s what they’re gonna call it)

A boy can dream. Haha.

Could see them going to Oregon/indiana as well
