What will the be seeing? The City of Minneapolis will not allow it to happen. Without one person allowed in the crowd, Gameday is a ridiculous proposition. It becomes the same as every other pregame show...not worth watching a minute of. Having it on location with the crowd is what makes it.
Shut up. No....you don't NEED the crowd to do Gameday. I don't watch it because people have signs in the background.
And I'm not sure how they'll handle the polls....but both Michigan and Minnesota were ranked in the preseason Top 20. You can see how weak the polls look when they remove not only two power five conferences but a couple G5 conferences in the Mountain West and the Mid American. A 1-1 Louisville team is still in @ 24. So that will be interesting. My guess is that they just kind of crush the teams back in.
But it should be a Top 25 matchup at the least And for the Little Brown Jug? I bet they could do some cool segments on what is widely considered one of the best trophies in college football. Might be a nice change up from the typical rivalry games that get rehashed on Gameday every year or every other. Plus...if they need time to fill....they could probably talk about Fleck for a while.
Also....I might just be posting from inside the bubble....but Minnesota has to be considered one of kinds of teams that has been down for so long.....that fans in other areas kind of root for them.
