With an announcement expected Monday for this week's College GameDay location, this is the longest ESPN has gone all season before revealing its next location for America's most popular pre-game show.

There are several options to choose from, including the potential of SMU-Memphis — a game that will determine frontrunning status in the AAC — and the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville (Florida-Georgia).

Brad Carson of 929 ESPN in Memphis has mentioned on social media throughout the weekend that SMU-Memphis is in the mix.

"Gameday hasn’t been announced yet. I’ve heard that the “logistic/location” thing we all chatted about last week on radio might be the hang up. Again, there has been no official announcement from ESPN," Carson tweeted on Sunday.

GameDay is usually announced late Saturday night after the prime-time game is nearing completion.

"Just spoke with an ESPN Exec. He confirmed Memphis is absolutely in the meeting now for next week’s Gameday as Bear, Herbstreit, etc have teased," Carson tweeted last week. "The very obvious thing is they both need to win this week. Decision hasn’t been made yet though. Go Mustangs (this week), Go Tigers."

College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit tweeted "let's do it!" last week when asked about the possibility of SMU-Memphis in Week 10. GameDay has never broadcast from Memphis and would be going off the beaten path for a second consecutive weekend after recording from Brookings, South Dakota on Saturday.

There's more intrigue for this matchup however pitting two Top 25 teams including the unbeaten Mustangs. The winner also has an inside track to seize the Group of 5's New Year's Six berth as well.

ESPN play-by-play announcer and former GameDay host Chris Fowler alluded to the show's next choice following No. 16 SMU's 34-31 win over Houston on Thursday night after posting a video on his Instagram story. Fowler said SMU's eighth straight win to open the season could be "a very significant result for my near future and the travel plans of me, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor."

Where there's smoke, there's usually fire and an announcement from ESPN is expected very soon. With SEC Nation traveling to Jacksonville for Florida-Georgia, it's unlikely GameDay follows its less popular sister program.
