Three USC Trojans Games That Could Attract ESPN's College GameDay to Visit

ESPN’s College GameDay will open the 2026 college football season with its Week 1 show in Baton Rouge for Clemson vs. No. 11 LSU, followed by Week 2 in Austin for No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 5 Texas. With USC ranked No. 14, fans in Los Angeles are looking for a stop at the Coliseum during Lincoln Riley’s fifth season. The last time GameDay visited USC was in 2013 for a 20-17 win over No. 4 Stanford. Three home games could draw the broadcast: Sept. 26 vs. Oregon, Oct. 3 vs. Washington, and another marquee matchup later in the schedule.
