Get ready for a thrilling showdown as No. 3 Oregon Ducks take on No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers in a highly anticipated top-10 matchup this Saturday, October 11th, at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. But here’s where it gets exciting: Sabrina Ionescu, the former Oregon Ducks star, is returning to Eugene as the celebrity guest picker for ESPN’s *College GameDay. This isn’t her first rodeo—she previously wowed fans in 2022 when Oregon hosted UCLA. And this is the part most people miss: Oregon has a *9-3 record when GameDay comes to town**, making this weekend’s event even more electrifying.
The game, kicking off at 12:30 p.m. PT, promises to be a clash of titans, with both teams boasting undefeated 5-0 records. But here’s where it gets controversial: Can Oregon’s unstoppable offense outmaneuver Indiana’s rock-solid defense? Fans are divided, and the outcome could hinge on this very matchup. For those tuning in, you can catch the action live and free via Fubo or DirecTV (both offering free trials), or stream it on-demand with Paramount+. Pro tip: Streaming availability may vary outside the Pacific Northwest, so check your location.
Past GameDay guest pickers have included Oregon legends like actress Kaitlin Olson and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, but Ionescu’s return adds a special hometown flavor to the event.
