ESPN College GameDay is headed to the Battle at Bristol

College football fans, start your engines: ESPN College GameDay is headed to Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee for the Battle at Bristol between No. 9 Tennessee (1-0) and Virginia Tech (1-0) on Saturday.

The game will kick off (8 p.m. ET, ABC) inside what will be college football's biggest venue -- ever. Able to hold gigantic Neyland Stadium in its center, Bristol Motor Speedway has an estimated seating capacity of 150,000. If fans flock to the venue as everyone expects them to, Saturday's game will demolish the prior college football attendance record of 117,000 fans.

Tennessee began the season as the SEC East Division favorite but got off to a shaky start with a 20-13 overtime victory at home against Appalachian State last Thursday night.
