College GameDay has officially decided on its location for Week 7 and it's a familiar spot. They'll be headed up north to James Madison:
You ready, James Madison?

This location was decided on despite having several options at the FBS level of play. Auburn-LSU, Alabama-Arkansas, Oklahoma-Texas —- a rivalry game no less —- and Georgia Tech-Miami were all solid options. This isn't like going to New York City because all the options seemed bad and they could come up with the excuse that they wanted to try something new.
GameDay has been to James Madison so it's a bit curious as to why they are going there. They are hosting Villanova so it's not like they are playing a FBS opponent either. The crew must just like the atmosphere or something.
