What personalities are on College GameDay in 2023?

College GameDay is one of those special shows that are a must-watch during the college football season. The show has had a turnover of cast over the years but the constants have been Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit.

Besides those two, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee are at the desk. There are also some contributors that include Jen Lada, Robert Griffin III, Jess Sims, Pete Thamel, and Steve Coughlin for the betting side of things.

This also is the first season that Gene Wojciechowski and David Pollack were not on the show, as they were part of the ESPN layoffs back in the summer. This show really puts the spotlight on the biggest matchup of the week. It does an outstanding job of getting celebrity guests and making the game feel even bigger just by being on location.
