College GameDay is heading to Boise, Idaho, for Week 11, with No. 17 Boise State hosting Oregon State on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET (USA Network). ESPN will broadcast from Boise State's campus before the Beavers take the field at Albertsons Stadium.
The last time GameDay came to Boise, Kellen Moore was the Broncos' quarterback and Oregon State was the opponent. Sixteen years later, the Beavers are back, and a Boise State win would bring the Pac-12 championship game to the blue turf in December. Here's how to watch the latest stop on the 2026 College GameDay schedule.
Where is College GameDay in Week 11?
ESPN announced its trip to Boise on Sunday. Boise State confirmed the show will be on campus and said the exact set location will be announced later in the week.
GameDay airs from 9 a.m. to noon ET. That's a 7 a.m. start in Boise and a 6 a.m. start for Beavers fans watching from Oregon. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time (6 p.m. ET) on USA Network, with the Broncos favored by the latest Oregon State vs. Boise State odds.

Why is College GameDay going to Boise?
Boise State (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) hasn't lost since dropping its opener at Oregon, winning eight straight after the Broncos put up 64 points at Colorado State on Saturday with their backup quarterback. Max Cutforth hit running back Dylan Riley for a 73-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage and finished with four touchdown passes in the 64-38 win.
That run lifted Boise State to No. 17 in Sunday's AP poll after the Broncos checked in at No. 25 in last week's first College Football Playoff rankings, the highest-ranked team outside the four power conferences. ESPN will reveal the next rankings later tonight at approximately 9 p.m. ET.
Oregon State (5-4, 3-2 Pac-12) is a win from bowl eligibility, but quarterback Braden Atkinson hurt his throwing hand when he struck a helmet against Texas State. Coach JaMarcus Shephard said Monday that he hopes Atkinson, who leads the nation in passing yards, can play Saturday, though the Beavers may need to rely on backup Maalik Murphy to help his team earn its second win in Boise after posting a 1-4 record in five previous tries.
College GameDay history at Boise State

Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said Monday that Maddux Madsen will start if healthy. Madsen missed the Colorado State game, and Danielson wants to see how he practices Tuesday and Wednesday before making that call. Whichever quarterback gets the start, Oregon State still has to account for Riley as both a runner and a receiver. Riley leads the country with 1,241 rushing yards, and he had 192 on the ground against the Rams and another 88 on just two catches.
The Beavers have a way to answer through the air. Boise State gave up 306 passing yards to the Rams, and Atkinson opened the season with eight straight 300-yard games before his injury cut short his night against Texas State. If he can't go, Murphy would take over after completing five of seven passes for 75 yards and an interception in relief last week. Either quarterback would benefit from chucking it downfield to the nation's leading receiver in freshman Jesse Legree, who caught eight passes for 99 yards even in that 42-21 loss.
