ESPN College GameDay Prediction for Week 12: FCS, Group of Five Have Strong Options

ESPN College GameDay Prediction for Week 12: FCS, Group of Five Have Strong Options

ESPN College GameDay passed on the Group of Five in Week 11 for a rare trip to Chesnut Hill, Mass., where Boston College hosts Clemson in a defacto ACC Atlantic Championship. Might GameDay go to the Group of Five or FCS in Week 12?

Though 11 weeks of the 2018 season, College GameDay has broadcasted from schools in five different conferences, along with Notre Dame (and two neutral-site games). In Week 12, they have an opportunity to add a sixth conference to the 2018 schedule.

Here are College GameDay predictions for Week 12:

Southern Illinois at North Dakota State

This game was second in my "Ranking Best Chances for an FCS Game in 2018" and with only two regular-season weeks remaining, this is the only potential FCS option for GameDay this season.

Southern Illinois (2-7, 1-5 MVFC) has been a disappointment, but, with all due respect, this game isn't about the Salukis. North Dakota State hosted GameDay in both 2013 and 2014 and was widely lauded as one of the best atmospheres in the show's history.

San Diego State at Fresno State

Neither San Diego State nor Fresno State has been featured on GameDay as a road or home team. Boise State was the last current Mountain West school to host GameDay (2010), though the Broncos were a WAC member at the time, and Air Force is the last (and only) current school to host as a Mountain West member (2002).

This should be a defacto division championship and, if UCF stumbles, could be huge in the New Year's Six picture.

Syracuse vs. Notre Dame

The biggest game of Week 12 is the favorite for GameDay, especially since it's at Yankee Stadium.

Syracuse is turning a corner under Dino Babers, and this is arguably — depending on how you view USC — the Irish's biggest hurdle standing between them and a playoff spot.

Cincinnati at UCF 

ESPN passed on Navy-UCF for Clemson-Boston College in Week 11. Might they pick Orlando in Week 12?

Depending on Week 11 results, Cincinnati's trip to UCF could be for the AAC East title, and, perhaps more importantly, this would be an interesting visit for a crew that's consistently crushed the Knights.
