College GameDay is heading back to Tuscaloosa, Ala.

ESPN's weekly college football preview show will be on the Alabama campus for the school's highly-anticipated matchup with No. 1 LSU on Saturday, Nov. 9, the network announced. It will be the first time College GameDay has visited Tuscaloosa since Oct. 22, 2016, for the Alabama-Texas A&M game and 14th time overall, second only to Ohio State (18).

Overall, the Crimson Tide has appeared on College GameDay more times than any other college football team with 46 and has a 30-16 record following its appearances. This will be the show's fourth trip to an SEC campus this season after visits to Georgia, Florida and LSU.

Alabama and LSU will meet for the 84th time Nov. 9 in what will be a battle between top-5 teams. The Crimson Tide leads the all-time series against the Tigers, 53-25-5, and has won eight games in a row against LSU. Alabama won last year's meeting, 29-0, at Baton Rouge, La.

Nick Saban is 10-4 in his career against LSU, including a 10-3 mark at Alabama. LSU head coach Ed Orgeron is 0-6 all-time against the Tide, including an 0-3 mark with the Tigers.



“Look, I think everybody knows how important every game is, but this next game is obviously one that has significant impact on a lot of things in the future,” Saban said, “and I think that everybody contributes in the best way that they can. Each player tries to be the best version of themselves in terms of their preparation and what they’ve got to do to play well in the game.

“All of our fans and supporters need to be the best versions of themselves when they come to support the team. I think that there’s got to be a 12th man that has an impact on the game, and I know our fans will, and we certainly appreciate it.”

Next week's Alabama-LSU game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT and will air on CBS. As always, Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jamie Erdahl will be on the call for CBS.
