College GameDay is broadcasting from Autin, Texas this week, and the full slate of presenters will be on the cast.
The University of Texas Longhorns are facing off against the University of Georgia Bulldogs in a matchup of top-25 teams.
Texas is ranked as the No. 1 team in the country while Georgia is ranked at No. 5.
With such a high-class game on their hands, ESPN is making sure to have their best team available for the broadcast.
Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban will all be on the show for their picks and analysis.
College GameDay will also have world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler in the building as the guest picker this week.
In one of the best traditions of College GameDay, Corso will be doing his mascot headgear selection for the winner of the Texas-Georgia game.
It will be Corso’s 419th headgear pick of his career, and the 29th time he has picked Texas or Georgia.
In his last 15 Texas picks the team has gone 9-6 in those games. In his last 13 Georgia picks, the team has gone 8-5.
So far, Corso’s headgear picks are 5-0 this season.
Corso returning to College GameDay was confirmed by Kirk Herbstreit, but fans had mixed opinions about the announcement.
“GREAT NEWS, Welcome Back Coach,” one fan said.
“Lee Corso’s hat rack must be thrilled!” another fan said.
“Please go home and retire. Sad to see him in this condition,” a third fan said.
“Please let that man go home and retire,” a fourth fan said.
