Wondering why GameDay is at Tennessee and not Michigan State.  Both Wisconsin and Michigan State are more highly ranked than Tennessee and Florida, and neither game is on an ABC/ESPN property.  I'm going to call #SECBias right now.

I'm sure that's a big part of it.  I also wonder if Gameday folks are looking ahead a bit.  In Week 9, MSU hosts Michigan in a potential battle of unbeatens with last year's punt block win as backdrop, while the other Top 25 matchups don't quite measure up.  The other big game is Clemson @ FSU, but Louisville sure took a lot of shine off FSU's rose last weekend.  (Florida @ Georgia is interesting, as both teams are currently ranked, but I don't think both of those teams will get to Week 9 without taking a loss or two.  Washington @ Utah just doesn't rate with MSU-Michigan.  Baylor-Texas?  Meh.)  Plus, Wisconsin already got the Gameday treatment (in Week 1, beating LSU in Lambeau), though so did Tennessee (in Week 2's "Battle at Bristol"). 

Could be some MSU fatigue, too.  Michigan State featured in 4 Gameday appearances last year (Week 2 vs. Oregon; Week 7 @ Michigan; Week 12 @ Ohio State; and Week 14 at the Big Ten title game).  Then they barely showed up against Alabama.  So, there might not be a burning desire to feature them so heavily again this year.
