ESPN recently announced that the legendary Lee Corso will be retiring from College GameDay after he co-hosts one final episode.

Well, now we know where they’ll be kicking off the 2025 college football season, and it’s going to be in Columbus, Ohio. College Gameday will be on campus for the season-opening showdown of Ohio State and Texas.

And it’s a fitting final show for Lee Corso because back in 1996, he made his very first headgear pick by putting on a Brutus Buckeye mascot head while in Columbus.

📍 Week 1: Columbus, OH
