It’s one of the more popular questions “College GameDay” hosts get: What are the top campuses you visit?

Rece Davis was asked that question, in so many words, this week as a guest on Gramlich and Mac Lain Podcast.

He named three.

Davis, who graduated from Alabama, played to his audience a bit with his answer. Mac Lain played football at Clemson.

“You could choose Clemson or anywhere in the SEC and not be wrong in the top three,” Davis said. “I’d probably say that just for sake of your listeners and your affinity, I would say Clemson’s as good as we do. We’re up on there on the hill. It’s a fun place to go. Pollack found ‘sloppy body guy’ and we had the mud splash there. There’s always something fun that happens when we go to Clemson.

“I think Clemson or really just about any place in the SEC. I love going to LSU. Even for an Alabama guy, Auburn’s been great. I take my alma mater out of it … because everybody’s going to feel great when they go to their alma mater. I think those are the ones.”

He did point out that two of the best crowds he’s seen have been at Washington State and James Madison.
