Week 8 of the 2026 college football season is here, and that means ESPN's "College GameDay" was back in full force to preview all of Saturday's action. With a ranked matchup in the Big 12, they made the choice to head to Salt Lake City, Utah to watch the Houston Cougars play the Utah Utes

It is a massive game for both programs, with Utah looking to improve to 7-0 and keep pace with the Texas Tech Red Raiders and BYU Cougars atop the Big 12 standings. Utah, which lost to Texas Tech, can not afford another loss in conference play and is looking to pull off the upsey.

The usual crew of Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee were joined by guest picker Dalton Kincaid to pick the top games of the weekend. The current Buffalo Bills tight end played at Utah from 2020-22, making the All-Pac-12 First Team in 2022. He finished his time in Utah with 107 receptions for 1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns
