Week 7’s ESPN College GameDay heading to Seattle for Oregon-Washington

Huskies fans should find this news delightful -- Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and company will be hosting the immensely popular pre-game show College Gameday from the University of Washington this weekend, just before the 4-1 Huskies face off against 5-0 Oregon.

This matchup has tremendous implications for the Pac-12 race, but contains an additional compelling element as well -- these two teams boast a very underrated rivalry that goes back to 1900, which Washington leads 58-42-5.

College GameDay has never visited Washington, and now would be as good a time as any -- Husky Stadium underwent a $280 million renovation last offseason.

Washington is 0-3 in Gameday appearances, all of which have been on the road:

Oregon, however, has fared much better -- the Ducks have appeared on Gameday 16 times, and have a record of 10-6 in those games. They are 4-1 in road games, and 1-3 in neutral site ones.
