ESPN’s “College GameDay” is headed to Norman ahead of the Sooners’ first-ever SEC game. OU hosts Tennessee at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
It will be OU’s 41st “College GameDay” appearance, a number that trails only Ohio State (59), Alabama (58) and Florida (41).
The Sooners, who will host the show for the first time since 2020 Bedlam, are 27-13 when being featured on “College GameDay.”

Tough ask to be a guest picker Saturday and quarterback an NFL team Sunday. But what about Bradford? Eh, I don’t see it. Bradford mostly stays out of the public eye.
Mark Daigneault, Thunder coach: Just kidding. Daigneault doesn’t know a thing about college football. Not that that’s a requirement.
Lana Del Rey, singer/songwriter: Noted Sooner fan. Not that any of us know why.
Nathan Followill, Kings of Leon drummer: The Oklahoma City native has done it before, and he’s campaigning for the job…
