Where is College GameDay Week 11?
Week 11 brings College GameDay to Lubbock, Texas, where the spotlight snaps onto the Texas Tech campus for a top-10 matchup: No. 7 BYU vs. No. 8 Texas Tech. There’s always an extra jolt in the air when ESPN rolls into town suddenly, every patch of sidewalk feels like a runway, and every Red Raider undergrad smells TV lights in the morning. For Lubbock fans, it’s what you call an event.
When Does College GameDay Start?
Set those alarms obnoxiously early because the show kicks off live from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Central Time on Saturday, November 8. That’s 9 a.m. to noon Eastern, for anyone whose body clock’s still living on the coasts. Though, honestly, it’s Lubbock students will already be tailgating or shivering in the dark. ESPN opens the crowd area to fans as early as 6:30 a.m., and the best signs, the loudest voices, and frankly, the wildest costumes are all there before coffee even kicks in.
How to Watch ‘College GameDay’?
Tuning in is easy, and it’s not just about the TV anymore. College GameDay airs on good old ESPN, as always, but streaming options are everywhere: ESPN app (as long as you have a cable login), or Fubo for cord-cutters, which even runs free trials for folks wanting to jump in just for the chaos and the commentary.
A side note for the YouTube TV crowd: With Disney and YouTube TV still fighting over contract terms, ESPN and ABC aren’t available there right now. Your workaround is Fubo (or, you know, calling up that one friend who hoards streaming passwords).

Who is the College GameDay Guest Picker for Week 11?
They went for local royalty, and you can’t blame them: Patrick Mahomes returns to Lubbock to serve as this week’s special guest picker. Yes, that Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City’s star and a former Texas Tech legend. Fans in Lubbock might still get misty about that 2016 game when he basically put the entire team on his back.
When Mahomes steps onto the GameDay stage, the place will lose its collective mind. If he picks BYU, there might be playful boos, but honestly, the guy’s football magic is bigger than the rivalry; he’s basically homecoming king every Saturday in Lubbock. Side note: If you’re ever in Lubbock, ask for Mahomes anecdotes; everyone’s got at least one.
