ESPN College GameDay is still the king when it comes to college football pregame shows and this week the team will be heading back to where they have already been, as Saturday's show starting up at 9:00 AM ET will be at Clemson once again for the Tigers huge ACC matchup with the Florida State Seminoles that will later be on ABC at 8 PM.
Clemson and Florida State have been two of the best teams in the nation and they will do battle on national television on Saturday and the GameDay crew of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and Desmond Howard will be there to cover it ahead of the big matchup. ESPN usually doesn't hit the same place twice in a season and after not doing it since 2007, for the first time ever GameDay will be at the same school for two games in the first eight weeks of the season. Clemson and Georgia got things kicked off when the Tigers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs and now they will be back.
Check here for the Watch ESPN streaming website for the College GameDay coverage from Clemson for the Tigers matchup against the Florida State Seminoles.
GameDay hasn't done the double dip since doing it for Oregon and LSU back in 2007, as they saw the Ducks for both the Cal and Arizona State games. The crew is going to Clemson now for the third time in school history and so far things have worked out fairly well for the Tigers, as they are 2-0 in those games, but of course they are 0-5 in games appeared in when the crew isn't at their school. Florida State is 11-14 overall in GameDay games and now each team will get a chance to add one to the victory column.

Clemson is coming into the game with national title aspirations and so are the Seminoles and it is very likely that the BCS picture will get a bit clearer when this game is over, as each are undefeated and ranked in the top five. This game has clear national implications and the winner of this game has the potential to go undefeated the rest of the season. Both are undefeated in the ACC this season, with the Tigers 4-0 and the Seminoles 3-0 and the tigers are coming into the game after a nice win over Boston College.
Clemson has a fairly easy schedule the rest of the way if they can get past Florida State, as the final game against South Carolina is their only one left against a ranked team. After playing FSU the team will face off on the road against Maryland and then against Virginia and then they will be home against Georgia Tech and the Citadel. Following that game, the team will have their final matchup with in-state rivals the South Carolina Gamecocks. Clemson had an impressive start to the season with their win over Georgia and they have been playing great ball since, with Tajh Boyd leading one of the best offenses in the nation.
