Where is College GameDay this week? Location, schedule, guest picks for Week 9 on ESPN

Last week, the choice of venue for “College GameDay” was obvious as two of the top five teams in Georgia squared off against Texas. But this week the choice was less clear.

The Week 9 schedule is a little tighter for big matchups. The three biggest games of the week are: No. 21 Missouri. No. 15 Alabama, No. 20 Illinois vs. No. 1 Oregon and No. 8 LSU vs. No. 14 Texas A&M.

But “GameDay” had already visited Tuscaloosa, Eugene and College Station this season, leaving the door open for a more unconventional location. That explains why ESPN chose to visit the campus of perhaps the most surprising undefeated team in the country this year.

Here’s everything you need to know about College GameDay for Week 9 of the college football season.

Head coach Curt Cignetti is in his first season at Indiana after two strong seasons with James Madison. Cignetti got to host “GameDay” last year with the Dukes, and this year he gets another opportunity with the undefeated Hoosiers.

Corso was sidelined for two weeks from “GameDay” because he was “under the weather,” but returned to the SEC heavyweight bout last week.

Two-time MLB All-Star Kyle Schwarber will get the call-up in Week 9. Before being drafted by the Cubs and signing with the Phillies, Schwarber attended Indiana, where he was a standout on the baseball team.
