College GameDay has been an ESPN staple for decades. The Saturday pregame show has traversed the country since the early 1990s, highlighting dozens of campuses and programs across all levels of college football.
I track College GameDay locations every year, and the show tends to cycle back through the same 10 or 15 major college football arteries. And, when nontraditional winners have historically great years, GameDay will make an effort to showcase those schools, too.
Over the years, there are a handful of teams from power conferences that aren’t major contenders and have never been featured on the show.Â
GameDay celebrates these teams as they drop off the list, which is why the remaining group of schools has shrunk so small.Â
But even in the late 2020s, there are still a few power teams that have never hosted College GameDay. This is the full list.Â
Power Conference Teams That Haven’t Hosted College GameDay

- Maryland

- Syracuse
