Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard will kick off the season with a one-hour College GameDay Season Preview Special Built by The Home Depot on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 11 a.m. on ESPN. TheGameDay crew will provide their insights and preview the upcoming season.

The show will include predictions for conference champions, who’s in the race for the Heisman Trophy and which teams will be part of the inaugural College Football Playoff. Interesting tidbits from the show include:

  • Two of the analysts selecting UCLA to win the College Football Playoff National Championship
  • Corso, Herbstreit and Howard picking only one SEC team to advance to the College Football Playoff Semifinals
  • Corso stating that the Pac-12 is deeper than the SEC this year
The annual preview show is the precursor for college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show, which will begin and end the 2014 season from Sundance Square in Fort Worth, Texas. The weekly three-hour Emmy Award-winning show (Saturday 9 a.m.-noon ET) will open on August 30 in advance of the Cowboys Classic. The annual neutral-site matchup from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will pit the defending national champion Florida State Seminoles against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday Night Football as part of DICK’s Sporting Goods Kickoff Week at 8 p.m. on ABC.
