College GameDay was live from Atlanta on Saturday morning ahead of the SEC Championship Game bout between Texas and Georgia.
While both teams are likely in the College Football Playoff no matter what happens at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a first-round bye is at stake for the SEC champion.
The GameDay crew was missing the legendary Lee Corso on Saturday morning, as Rece Davis revealed that Corso had a minor procedure done this week and was doing well.
The crew of Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by actor Timothée Chalamet to make picks for the weekend’s biggest conference title games.
Here’s a look at who the crew thinks will win on Saturday:
Big 12 Championship: No. 16 Iowa State vs. No. 15 Arizona State
- Desmond: Iowa State
- Saban: Arizona State
- McAfee: Arizona State
- Chalamet: Arizona State
- Herbsreit: Iowa State
ACC Championship Game: No. 17 Clemson vs. No. 8 SMU
- Desmond: SMU
- Saban: Clemson
- McAfee: SMU
- Chalamet: SMU

Big Ten Championship Game: No. 3 Penn State vs. No. 1 Oregon
- Desmond: Oregon
- Saban: Oregon
- McAfee: Oregon

SEC Championship Game: No. 5 Texas vs. No. 2 Georgia
- Desmond: Texas
