This is the second-straight season the SEC Women’s Championship will be the final destination for GameDay and the show’s third trip to Greenville in March overall. Currently, the SEC has five of the top 10 teams in the AP poll: No. 3 South Carolina, No. 4 Texas, No. 5 Vanderbilt, No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Oklahoma.
GameDay’s Week 2 stop garnered a regular season best 1.2 million viewers ahead of an all-SEC battle between South Carolina and LSU.
