WATCH UC's Luke Fickell talks about primetime exposure against Central Florida Saturday night Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com

The Big Top rolls into Orlando this weekend as ESPN College GameDay has selected the undefeated University of Central Florida football team to showcase to the nation. While there will be no lions, tigers and bears, there will be a Bearcat mascot head for long-time GameDay veteran Lee Corso to model.

The 9-1 Cincinnati Bearcats provide the opposition for the UCF Knights and while it's doubtful Corso wears the Bearcat head (he lives in Orlando) it's a prime time opportunity for coach Luke Fickell and his staff as the game is also the ABC feature game at 8 p.
