The SEC vs. Big Ten matchup marks the second consecutive year that the pregame road show will spend the season’s first Saturday in Dallas-Fort Worth. Last year, before No. 1 Florida State met Oklahoma State in the annual neutral-site matchup at AT&T Stadium, GameDay set up in Fort Worth’s Sundance Square.
