COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State football’s matchup with Penn State on Saturday could decide the Big Ten East Division champion and have a major say in the College Football Playoff picture.

Both major network pregame shows will be at Ohio Stadium to feature the rivalry.

ESPN announced College GameDay will come to Columbus for Saturday’s game. Fox Big Noon Saturday was already scheduled to be there as well, as Fox is the network carrying the noon kickoff.

It will be the 11th time Ohio State and Penn State have been featured on GameDay, matching Alabama-LSU for the most-featured matchup. This will be Ohio State’s 46th appearance on GameDay, one shy of the Crimson Tide for the most. The Buckeyes are 32-13 all-time in those games — a .711 winning percentage that is the best among teams with 25 or more appearances.

The game will also mark Ohio State defensive end Chase Young’s return from a two-game suspension. In his last competition, the junior raised his national profile by recording four sacks against Wisconsin in another nationally televised game.

This will be the second GameDay game this season for Ohio State, which defeated Nebraska 48-7 in Lincoln on the first occasion. It will be the first time the program has been to Ohio Stadium since last season’s regular-season finale, a 62-39 victory over Michigan on Nov. 24, 2018.

GameDay is hosted by Rece Davis with former Ohio State player Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard, David Pollock and Maria Taylor.
