College GameDay returns with its debut episode of the 2025 college football season Saturday for Week 1, and all the crew from 2024 will be back. One notable change will take place after the first episode, though.

The panel for 2025 will include host Rece Davis, along with analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban, insider Pete Thamel, reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims and betting analyst 'Stanford Steve' Coughlin.
