I’ve done this in 2023 and 2024 and it was fun. Saw Duke coming in 2023 but hedged a bit, had no clue Cal would start hot in 2024.
Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers, SMU, Syracuse, and Virginia are the P4 schools that haven’t hosted. The Illini would be an easy pick here since they are projected to be quite good this season. I’m already penciling them in for the Illibuck trophy match against Ohio State on October 11.
Don’t count out SMU, my top pick from last year, either. A visit from Miami on November 1 could be appealing, or if an undefeated Syracuse (pending an upset at Clemson) visits on October 4.
On the G5 side, Tulane is a contender for a Top 25 ranking and could be an attractive candidate when Army comes into New Orleans on October 18.
Finally, if ESPN wants to take part in the Bill Belichick circus, UNC could possibly host its first GameDay since 1997(!). But does ESPN really want Jordon Hudson to be guest picker? Probably not.
