These games give Pitt-Penn State some competition for 'College Gameday'

The prime time showdown is well positioned to play host to the popular ESPN show, but so are some other games

ABC’s “Saturday Night Football” is coming to Pittsburgh to broadcast Pitt and Penn State’s Sept. 8 showdown at Heinz Field in prime time. The big question now is whether “College Gameday” will follow.

The popular ESPN college football preview show originates from the site of a different game every week, but figuring out which game it will choose can be an inexact science.

Corporate synergy many times leads it to the site of “Saturday Night Football,” as both ESPN and ABC are owned by Disney.
