Alabama vs. Texas set to host ESPN’s College GameDay in Week 2

For the second year in a row, College GameDay will be heading to the showdown between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns. Last year’s matchup took place in Austin, but this year the crew will be coming to Title Town. Alabama has one home loss in the past seven seasons, so Texas will have their work cut out for them.

Texas enters the 2023 season ranked No. 11 in the country with the Tide coming in at No. 4. Last year’s game was a wild one, so it should be no surprise they ESPN crew is coming to Tuscaloosa. The game will have major playoff implications with all sorts of intriguing headlines. From Alabama’s QB situation to Sark’s return to Tuscaloosa, it’s gonna be one of the best non-conference games of the year.

Last year’s matchup included four players who were eventually drafted in the top 12 of the 2023 NFL draft in Bryce Young, Will Anderson Jr., Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs. So, the teams are clearly amongst the most talented in the country, the question really boils down to who will be more put together by Week 2?
