ESPN ‘College GameDay’ location announced for Week 11

ESPN‘s “College GameDay” will travel to Idaho in Week 11 for the Pac-12 showdown between the Oregon State beavers and Boise State Broncos. Boise State is 8-1 and still has a legitimate shot to make the College Football Playoff. A win against the Beavers and their impressive passing attack would be big with just two weeks remaining in the regular season.

This will be just the second time that “College GameDay” has been hosted in Boise. The previous trip took place on September 25, 2010 when the Broncos were ranked No. 3 in the country. That game was also against Oregon State. Boise State won that game and went 12-1 that season, but did not make a BCS bowl.

Here’s ESPN’s hype video for the show returning to Idaho for the first time in 16 years.

Boise State is ranked No 17 in the latest AP Top 25 and No. 18 in the Coaches Poll. The Broncos are coming off a decisive win over Colorado State on Saturday. Their only loss this season came in Week 1 against the preseason No. 2 Oregon Ducks.

Oregon State is coming off two straight losses, but deserve to be featured. Quarterback Braden Atkinson and wide receiver Jesse Legree have been lights out this season. Both have been held relatively in check against their last two opponents, but Atkinson still leads the nation in passing yards and Legree in receiving yards and touchdown catches.
