Was Bailey Zimmerman actually that bad on ESPN’s College GameDay? Or was it just the fact that he was singing next to country music star and vocal powerhouse Luke Combs? ESPN’s flagship college football pregame show aired from the campus of the University of Georgia today. The program (or progrum, if you ask Pat McAfee) is there for the highly anticipated matchup between the Bulldogs and the undefeated Ole Miss Rebels. And since College GameDay decided to go down south for the weekend, they also made the call to lean into country music. While the likes of Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban were all set up to break down all things college football and predict the biggest games of the weekend, country music stars Luke Combs and Bailey Zimmerman were there to perform in front of the rowdy crowd there for the marquee matchup between No. 9 Georgia and No. 5 ranked Ole Miss. It was announced earlier this week that Combs and Zimmerman would be putting on a live performance during College GameDay and that it would air live from the University of Georgia’s campus. And when the time came around (the pair went on around 10:20 a.m. local time, which might be the earliest concert they’ve ever put on), Zimmerman and Combs went with a song of Bailey’s: “Backup Plan,” which is featured on Zimmerman’s Different Night Same Rodeo album. Here’s how it went: @collegegameday Bailey Zimmerman performed his song “Backup Plan” with Luke Combs #collegegameday #baileyzimmerman #lukecombs ♬ original sound – College GameDay What’d you think? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Instant perspective is a very dangerous thing. Zimmerman by himself might have been okay, but I think the fact that he was singing alongside Luke Combs was the kicker. If I was a singer, I’d never, under any circumstance, share the stage with someone who is that much more vocally talented than I am. That’s how I saw the College GameDay performance… Zimmerman wasn’t bad, but Combs is just in another league… especially live. Social media wasn’t as nice about it as I am: I'm convinced Bailey Zimmerman is clearly on something on College GameDay right now.

It was an electric three and a half minutes! — a l e c (@alec_kreger11) October 18, 2025 What the hell is a Bailey Zimmerman — Austin Hyde (@austinhyde1) October 18, 2025 Bailey Zimmerman did not need to be doing all that on stage — BillthePony (@BillthePony345) October 18, 2025 Jesus. @CollegeGameDay used to be football, trash talk, and a little bit of Corso lunacy—not some TikTok-haircut, Nashville wannabe tryin’ to turn the pregame into the goddamn CMT Awards. Nobody’s tuning in to see Bailey “Who?” Zimmerman croon about heartbreak when we’re here to… — Reverend Brick (@ReverendBrick) October 18, 2025 Damn, tell us how you really feel… Of course, it was all love for Luke: You know county music for the Super Bowl performance would of been a great idea after seeing Luke combs — AMPLIFY (@spllashiin) October 18, 2025 Luke Combs on College Gameday killing it. — O/USports (@0usports) October 18, 2025 Luke Combs never beating the GOAT allegations — d (@reallyenvious_) October 18, 2025 The post College Football Fans Were NOT Impressed With Bailey Zimmerman’s Performance On ESPN ‘College GameDay’ first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
