College GameDay has now been to Penn State 10 times, including the Week 10 show from the 2024 season.ย 

While itโ€™s not one of most common College GameDay locations, 10 visits since the 1993 inception of the show is a pretty good run and better than most.ย 

When Was the Last Time College GameDay Went to Penn State?

Prior to 2024, College GameDayโ€™s last trip to Penn State came in the 2021 season.ย 

No. 10 Penn State hosted No. 22 Auburn in a nonconference game on Sept. 18. Penn State won 28-20.ย 

The Nittany Lions were a modest favorite in that game, so that was a win and cover for Penn State football odds.ย
