College GameDay was live in Austin on Saturday morning ahead of a big-time SEC matchup between No. 1 Texas and No. 5 Georgia.
The crew of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by PGA star Scottie Scheffler to pick some of the biggest games of the week. With so many big matchups in the SEC, the crew made some picks involving those teams.
None of the guys picked an SEC game in the Superdog session, leaving the picks for the segment with Scheffler.
Here’s a look at who the guys like on Saturday, October 19, across the SEC:
