Virginia unlikely hosts College Gameday this season

Virginia's football team is unlikely to host ESPN's "College GameDay" this season, despite being one of the few Power Four schools never to have done so. The Cavaliers' home schedule, featuring games against Coastal Carolina, Stanford, and William & Mary, offers little appeal for the show, and a Friday night game against Florida State further diminishes the chances. A late-season game against Washington State or Virginia Tech presents the only realistic possibilities. For "College GameDay" to consider Charlottesville, Virginia would need to significantly exceed expectations, and either Washington State or Virginia Tech would need to be highly ranked, competing for a conference championship berth.
