College GameDay was in Columbia, South Carolina, on Saturday morning to preview a big Week 3 matchup between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the LSU Tigers.

The popular ESPN pregame show was going to visit Lexington to preview the Kentucky-Georgia game, but the Gamecocks had other plans in Week 2, taking down the Wildcats in convincing fashion.

On Saturday morning, the GameDay crew of Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by legendary South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley to make picks for big-time Week 3 matchups.

Saban picked Toledo (+10.5) as his superdog against Mississippi State. McAfee picked Boston College (+14.5) against Mizzou as his superdog.
