College GameDay has now been to LSU 15 times, including the upcoming Week 1 show from the 2026 season.

It’ll be 16 times after Week 3, which will also feature Baton Rouge as the host setting.

Only three schools have appeared on the College GameDay schedule more often than LSU: Ohio State, Alabama, and Michigan. 

When Was the Last Time College GameDay Went to LSU?

Prior to 2026, College GameDay’s last trip to LSU was back in 2024. 

LSU hosted No. 11 Alabama on Nov. 9 of that year, losing 42-13. LSU football odds were a prime target for bettors, as the Tigers were coming off a bye and still in the thick of the SEC championship race.
