S.I. article mentions ESPN Gameday for UC/UCF game
I don't think UC will be undefeated by then, but if they could somehow be a 1 loss team it could be an outside shot.

WEEK 12 (NOV. 17): CINCINNATI @ UCF
It might seem bold to predict GameDay going to a Group of Five game, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you take a long look at Week 12. As things stand in the AP poll heading into Week 8, this is the only matchup of the weekend between two ranked teams. Miami at Virginia Tech had some appeal early in the year, but both have dropped games to bad teams. Duke at Clemson could become an option if the Blue Devils win their next four games, but that’s a tough thing to rely on. This seems like a great week for GameDay to go to an unconventional location, which they’ve done at least once per season in recent years. Jacksonville State vs. Kennesaw State from the Atlanta Braves’ SunTrust Park could be an option; GameDay has done an FCS game in four of the last five years.

The safer call is that ESPN will reward UCF for a winning streak that should be at 22 games by the time this matchup rolls around. Discussions of UCF’s playoff candidacy will continue to grow if it avoids an upset, setting this game up as a recognition of the Knights’ accomplishments over the past two seasons. Cincinnati is also undefeated and could stay that way if it beats Temple on the road and holds off South Florida (another currently undefeated team) at home, setting up a chance to take the AAC East lead by beating UCF. Also, GameDay has never been to Orlando and Cincinnati has never so much as played in a GameDay game. It makes sense.

rumor swirling is USF @ Houston is the second favorite to get gameday next week (if both teams win)....usf and houston have also been put on the 6day tv window by espn (which are held for bigger games)

georgia florida will 95% chance get it, but weather forecast currently has it storming in Jacksonville next saturday.. that game is controlled by cbs (gameday ran by espn)... they are almost 100% going to be at the SEC championship game & georgia or florida are locks at this point...
