The on-air personalities for ESPN’s College GameDay expect the 3-hour pregame show to originate from Boise State on Sept. 25.

Analyst Lee Corso triggered a round of banter among the show’s hosts Saturday morning when he said that Boise State doesn’t belong in the national championship discussion because of its schedule.

“And I’m saying it although we’re going to Boise State in a couple weeks,” Corso said on the air.

Show host Chris Fowler suggested that Broncos fans would remember that comment.

“That’ll be my kind of weather,” Kirk Herbstreit said.

“Won’t be his kind of crowd,” Fowler said, indicating Corso.

ESPN spokesman Mike Humes immediately tried to downplay the Boise State talk, but it’s clear the Boise State-Oregon State game is at the top of the list for Sept. 25.

“(Corso) was just speculating in good nature,” Humes said by e-mail. “We still need to make sure everyone wins.”

Boise State could face competition from the Alabama-Arkansas game that day. That contest has the potential to become a Top 15 blockbuster if the Razorbacks win this week at Georgia.

But if No. 3 Boise State (at Wyoming) and Oregon State (vs. Louisville) win Saturday as expected, it looks like one of college football’s coolest events will originate from the Boise State campus.

The Broncos and Beavers meet Sept. 25 at Bronco Stadium in a game slated to air on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 (time TBA).

GameDay never has been to Boise, but it has flirted with the idea twice, most recently for last year’s Boise State-Idaho game.

This year, like last year, ESPN has sent Boise State preliminary information about what is required for a host site. ESPN targets a few games per weekend about three weeks in advance and then tweaks the list as games are played, Humes said.

The GameDay producers and on-air personalities usually come to a consensus Sunday morning about the site for the following weekend. They look for the biggest game of the day and compelling storylines, Humes said.

“You have to look at the full matchup,” Humes said.

And that has been the problem in getting GameDay to Boise. The Broncos’ best home games usually are played on weekdays. This year, though, the Broncos’ most-attractive home game falls on a Saturday.

Other notable games that day include Oklahoma-Cincinnati, West Virginia-LSU, UCLA-Texas, South Carolina-Auburn and Stanford-Notre Dame.
