NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The stage has been set for College Gameday on Vanderbilt’s campus for Saturday’s live show in Nashville. It was announced Thursday that Middle Tennessee’s own comedian and actor, Nate Bargatze, will be representing the Commodores ahead of the big game on Vandy’s campus as the show’s guest picker.

After the rest of Saturday's games ended, "College GameDay" announced on Sunday that it would be in Utah for a Big 12 showdown between the Cincinnati Bearcats and Utah Utes. Cincinnati is the No. 17 team in the country with a 7-1 record, while Utah is No. 24 with a 6-2 record. The Utes just blew out Colorado 53-7 on Saturday night.

For the first time since 2008, College GameDay returned to Vanderbilt — and the Commodores made it count with a big win that put Nashville back in the national spotlight.

The two country artists will be performing when 'College GameDay' visits Nashville's Vanderbilt University this weekend.

Kenny Chesney and Dierks Bentley will perform on ESPN's "College GameDay" in Saturday as the Vanderbilt Commodores take on Missouri.

The Nashville staple will serve a tower of pancakes, Goolsby sausages, country fried steak, candied bacon, and more to the anchors during the show.

Vanderbilt student Tyler Hwang won $500,000 on ESPN’s “College GameDay” Saturday morning by making a 33-yard field goal during host Pat McAfee’s weekly kicking contest. McAfee donated another $250,000 to charity, bringing the successful kick’s total to $750,000.
