ESPN's College GameDay will be in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, Aug. 30, for the biggest game of Week 1—and potentially one of the biggest matchups of the entire season—between Ohio State and Texas. While the Buckeyes and Longhorns may be a College Football Playoff rematch and a showdown between two of the most talented teams in the country, it may not be the most intriguing game of the Week 1 slate, however. With legendary former NFL coach Bill Belichick taking over the program at North Carolina, ESPN isn't going to miss the chance to highlight his college football debut.
The Tar Heels kick off their season at home on Monday, Sept. 1 against TCU for a Power 4 nonconference clash. ESPN will highlight the matchup with a special edition of College Football Countdown live from Chapel Hill, with a number of GameDay personalities on hand to preview the game. The show will air from 7–8 p.m. from the Kenan Stadium sideline, with the game kicking off afterwards.
