Just saw that UCLA at Arizona was selected for gameday next week.
How much does this affect our chances? I know I'm biased, but I think this gives us much better odds.

GameDay hasn't featured the same team twice in a season since North Carolina back in 2007, and never in subsequent weeks.
Edit: They featured UNC twice back in 2013. 7 weeks apart, though. And Duke twice last year, 6 weeks apart.

I wonder if our positive television ratings on ESPN2 and ESPNU might factor into their decision? We've built national appeal the past 3-4 years and showing 2 of the best non-P5 teams battling for a conference championship might be a ratings bananza for ESPN. Not to mention watching 3-4 of the top players in the country and televising a game from one of the best venues in the country. Heck, why wouldn't they seriously consider coming to WSU? At this point it might come down to how we both finish the next 2 weeks. I've went from thinking we had a 'one in a million' chance to 50/50."You Just Want to Slap The #### Outta Some People"

I'd say the likelihood we get Gameday has gone up drastically with that news. There has never been a team that played on Gameday in back-to-back weekends. So unless they choose the inferior ranked match up of KU vs Texas or Duke vs Syracuse both having a top 10 vs an unranked team, we are the only option for two ranked teams, not to mention it's likely for the regular season title.
