Where is College GameDay this week? ESPN and its flagship college football pre-game program hit the road in Big Ten country for the second time in nine weeks this season.

College football’s reigning national champion plays host to Rece Davis and the boys today, as Indiana looks to avoid a second loss and pass an important test at home against a resurgent Big Ten conference rival.

Champs Host Clash of Big Ten Hopefuls

Indiana’s ambitions to repeat as national champions are still intact, but not as convincing as we thought they would be. The offense has taken a step back, and now quarterback Josh Hoover is coming off a game where he wasn’t 100 percent.

He ran for the winning touchdown to give the Hoosiers their first win at Michigan since 1967, but it’s a development worth watching as the Big Ten season progresses.

Minnesota just knocked off Iowa on a last-second field goal to improve to 5-2, and has lost just once in four games in conference play. Four of the Gophers’ final five opponents are ranked, starting with this matchup. It could go either way for this team right now.
