For the first time in 16 years, ESPN’s College Ga meDay is back in the Gem State ahead of the Broncos’ matchup with Oregon State. Meanwhile, AC Boise will play in the USL League One final in North Carolina.Boise State#24 Boise State (8-1) hosts Oregon State (5-4) at Albertsons Stadium. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. MT on USA Sports.Before the game, you can watch GameDay live from Decheverux Field from 7-10 a.m. on ESPN. Hosts include Rece Davis, Demond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee. Former Bronco Ian Johnson, who was part of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl-winning team, will be the guest picker.On Friday, Davis and Howard met with members of the media to talk about the show’s trip back to Boise.“I think it’s a great story in terms of college football playoffs, the sustained success that Boise’s had,” Davis said. “We sort of targeted this game a few weeks ago because we thought it might be an elimination game one way or the other in terms of being the highest-ranked group of six teams.”“For us as a show, it’s really good to be able to give not only the players, the team, the coaches, but to give the community like a three-hour infomercial for our audience,” Howard, who was part of the ESPN crew who came to Boise in 2010, said. “And that’s the best part: To give them what we feel as though they have earned and what they deserve. And that’s what we really like, so we want to put a spotlight on Boise.”Boise State is currently ranked 24th in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings, and #17 in the Associated Press poll. The highest-ranked group of six teams will earn an automatic spot in the CFP.The game will also feature some unique stats.“We were going back through our research notes, and we think we’ve gone back at least 16 years at last check, and haven’t had a game like this in terms of having the nation’s leading passer (Oregon State’s Braden Atkinson), leading receiver (Oregon State’s Jesse Legree), and leading rusher (Boise State’s Dylan Riley) in the same game,” said Rece Davis. “So you’ve got a little bit of novelty in that respect, and then also, Boise State has elevated itself where it’s an iconic place in college football with the blue turf, and we want to be able to show that we’re college football’s pregame show and not just the highest-ranked game of the week every week.”AC BoiseNearly eight months after AC Boise (17-8-7) kicked off its inaugural season, they are one of two teams left standing, hoping to become the first expansion team to win a final in its first year.Tonight, they will face Charlotte Independence (20-6-6), who, like Boise, also had a record-setting season.Charlotte, known as the Jacks, set regular-season records for wins (20), goals (74), and points (66).
