ESPN College Gameday 2022: Location, TV Schedule and Week 11 Predictions

Look out, Austin. ESPN's College GameDay is headed back to the Lone Star State on Saturday to showcase the game of the week: Texas vs. Texas Christian University.

The Horned Frogs are undefeated at 9-0, catapulting them to the No. 4 spot in the latest CFP rankings, which is likely why the popular college football kickoff show is back in the state capital.

The Longhorns, on the other hand, jumped six spots to No. 18 after beating Kansas State 34-27 last week. It's their highest ranking since 2017.

Rece Davis will host the show prior to the can't-miss Big 12 Conference matchup at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium, which will air at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN and ESPNU.

This isn't the only marquee game on the schedule for Week 11, though. No. 2 Ohio State will host Indiana, No. 10 Alabama will travel to face No. 11 Ole Miss, and Nebraska takes on No. 3 Michigan.

Here's a detailed list of games and schedule for the Top 25 teams for Week 11, with predictions for each game and a deep dive into the clash between TCU and Texas.

TCU vs. Texas Preview

TCU is unbeaten this season, but as great as that is for the program, it's hard to keep up that kind of blemish-free play when facing top-ranked opponents.

As far as the oddsmakers are concerned, Texas is going to play spoiler to the Horned Frogs' perfect streak.

TCU is playing extremely well under new head coach Sonny Dykes, but it will be up against a familiar face this weekend.

Gary Patterson, who now serves as a special assistant coach for the Longhorns, practically built the Horned Frogs' football program from the ground up to what is is today.

"Man, I was going to see who was going to ask the first question about Coach P," Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters. "We’re lucky to have him on our team. I’ll say that he served 22 great years there at TCU. I think that program is in the place that it’s in because of the work that he did, and that should not go unnoticed.

"A lot of those kids on that roster he recruited and it’s a very talented roster, but we’re lucky to have him on our team."

All told, Patterson delivered 11 seasons with at least 10 wins while holding the clipboard to the passionate fans in Fort Worth. There's even a statue of him on campus.

Now, though, the 62-year-old will be looking to end his former team's winning ways while coaching for one of its most-hated rivals. Call it Patterson's revenge.

And while he won't be an actual coach this time around, his influence will definitely be felt on the field.

"He can't coach us, but he gives good input to our other coaches and obviously knows their players' tendencies since he recruited them," Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron told reporters. "I'm just gonna make sure I know what he knows about their players."

For their part, the Horned Frogs are well aware of Patterson's influence, although it's not uppermost in their mind.

"People are going to talk about it, but not really," TCU quarterback Max Duggan said. "I think they’re going to have their guys ready to go. We’re going to have our guys ready to go. Players got to play on the field and that’s what it’s going to come down to."

All of the added drama leading up to the game aside, this should be an exciting contest that could have major College Football Playoff implications.
