"College GameDay" will make its second stop in the state of Florida for a huge top-10 showdown of SEC powers Auburn and Florida on Saturday.
Curiously, this will be both teams' second appearance on the show this season. The eighth-ranked Gators had the Week 0 spotlight in Orlando ahead of its game against Miami, while No. 16 Auburn took center stage the following week against No. 11 Oregon.
No. 7 Auburn and No. 10 Florida have looked impressive in their subsequent games, using terrific defense and solid quarterback play to enter this game at 5-0.
