ESPN’s “College GameDay” returns for Week 6 of the college football season, traveling to Lawrence, Kansas, to highlight Kansas-TCU on Saturday, Oct. 8. The show will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

No. 19 Kansas (5-0) is off to its best start since 2009 entering this game against the Big 12 rival No. 17 ranked Horned Frogs (4-0), who are also unbeaten.

Rece Davis leads the show in his eighth season as host and is joined at the desk by “GameDay” analysts Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee and David Pollack. Reporters Jen Lada, Gene Wojciechowski and newcomer Jess Sims, along with research producer Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and college football insider Pete Thamel, round out the “GameDay” crew for the season.

Scheduled Features

• The Imposter – One year ago, Texas A&M knocked off No. 1- ranked Alabama in one of the most memorable games of the 2021 season. The upset win may not have been the most unbelievable thing that happened at Kyle Field that day after a real-life case of, “Catch Me If You Can.”
• Jalon’s Journey – According to one publication, he was the 129th-ranked quarterback in his recruiting class. Now Jalon Daniels finds himself in Heisman conversations and leading an undefeated Kansas team to unexpected places all while continuing to keep that chip on his shoulder that he says has helped get him to this point.

Kansas head football coach Lance Leipold will make a live appearance on “GameDay,” as will the Jayhawks’ two-time national champion men’s basketball coach Bill Self. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian will join the show live from the field at the Cotton Bowl before the Longhorns face Oklahoma in the AT&T Red River Showdown.

Celebrity picker

The show’s celebrity picker will be comedian, actor and Kansas alum Rob Riggle.
