College GameDay was live from Indiana on Saturday morning ahead of the undefeated Hoosiers’ Week 9 matchup against Washington. It was the popular pregame show’s first time at Indiana on a Saturday. A few years ago, the ESPN crew came to Bloomington on a Thursday ahead of a Week 1 game between Ohio State and Indiana.
The crew of Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber, a proud Indiana alum, to make picks for the biggest games of the weekend.
Herbstreit and Saban are both taking Vanderbilt (+17.5) against Texas as their superdog picks.
Here are the crew’s picks for some other big-time SEC matchups from Saturday’s slate:
No. 21 Mizzou at No. 15 Alabama
- Desmond: Alabama
- Saban: Alabama
- Schwarber: Alabama
- McAfee: Alabama
- Corso: Alabama
- Herbstreit: Alabama
No. 5 Texas at No. 25 Vanderbilt
- Desmond: Texas
- Saban: Texas
- Schwarber: Texas
- McAfee: Texas
- Corso: Texas
- Herbstreit: Texas
No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M
- Desmond: LSU
- Saban: LSU
- Schwarber: Texas A&M
- McAfee: LSU
- Corso: Texas A&M
- Herbstreit: No pick (he’s calling the game)
Who will be proven right? Can Schwarber take over the top spot for celebrity guest pickers (currently held by Ms. Terry Saban)? We’ll find out over the course of what’s sure to be another exciting weekend of college football action.
