  "account": "In a recent interview on The College GameDay Podcast, ESPN's Rece Davis expressed his desire for the show to venture beyond Power Four conferences. He specifically mentioned a potential stop at North Dakota State's game against UNLV at Allegiant Stadium on October 10th. Davis noted that while he doesn't claim the trip is certain, he considers a game featuring North Dakota State and New Mexico to be highly appealing.\n\nDavis has had a history of selecting non-Power Four matchups, such as Appalachian State vs. James Madison in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and Montana State vs. Bismarck State in Montana. However, Albuquerque would be the first time the show has hosted a non-Power Four game and the first time New Mexico would appear on the show.\n\nThe upcoming Week 8 schedule appears relatively thin, with Texas hosting Ole Miss being the biggest game. Other potential destinations include Miami versus Pitt and Houston versus Utah. However, these games could be impacted by the outcomes of North Dakota State and New Mexico's respective matchups. Rece Davis has expressed his support for North Dakota State and hopes to see New Mexico keep winning, which adds a unique element to the potential College GameDay visit.",
