College GameDay was live from Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday morning ahead of a big-time showdown between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Oregon.
The crew of Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by comedian and actress Kaitlin Olson of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and other popular shows. Lee Corso was not in attendance this week as he missed his second-straight show.
Saturday’s Week 7 slate features plenty of big-time SEC matchups in addition to the Big Ten top-5 showdown between the Buckeyes and Ducks.
Howard took Vanderbilt (+12.5) over Kentucky as his superdog pick. Saban did the same thing, picking Commodores. McAfee chose Oklahoma (+17) to cover the spread in the Red River Rivalry against Texas.
Here’s a look at who the crew and Olson picked for the biggest games across the SEC in Week 7:
Florida at No. 8 Tennessee
- Desmond: Tennessee
- Saban: Tennessee
- McAfee: Tennessee
- Olson: Tennessee
- Herbstreit: Tennessee
No. 1 Texas vs. No. 18 Oklahoma (in Dallas)
- Desmond: Texas
- Saban: Texas
- McAfee: Texas
- Olson: Texas
- Herbstreit: No pick (he’s calling the game)
No. 9 Ole Miss at No. 13 LSU
- Desmond: LSU
- Saban: Ole Miss
- McAfee: Ole Miss

We’ll also throw in the picks from Ohio State-Oregon, just for fun:
No. 2 Ohio State at No. 3 Oregon
