Dots: College Gameday for Week 1 is set

It’s Monday. That means Dots.

Just like most days, in fact.

Shunned again.

The opening weekend game that pits #6 Washington versus #10 Auburn on a “neutral” field in Atlanta is the only opening weekend game that matches two top 10 teams. Normally a draw like this is a perfect situation for an ESPN Gameday location.

Not so fast, my friends.

In fairness, ESPN is looking to celebrate GameDay’s 25th anniversary and going back to the site of its first broadcast has a certain appeal. Covering a legendary rivalry is also not a bad thing.
