ESPN College Gameday headed to first-time location next week

What I’m about to say is not a misprint, not a mistake, not in any way, shape or form a joke:

ESPN’s “College Gameday” is heading to Lawrence, Kansas on Saturday for an actual football game.

The Kansas Jayhawks aren’t likely to remain outside the top 25 once the new polls are released on Sunday and next Saturday the football program will have a first-time opportunity as Gameday heads to town.  Kansas moved to 5-0 Saturday as they got by Iowa State 14-11.

Kansas is playing host to TCU who dismantled Oklahoma on Saturday, 55-24.

The trip will be the first ever to Lawrence for Gameday which will leave seven Power Five programs without ever having hosted the show.
