ESPN’s College GameDay has become a college football tradition and the standard by which all pregame telecasts are graded.
And while Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and the rest of the gang are the reason we keep coming back week after week, it is also fun to check out who joins the set as a special “guest picker” to predict the outcome of games.
As the show has grown in popularity, so has the level of star that College GameDay has been able to attract onto its set to make predictions with the boys.
Music stars like Katy Perry and Kenny Chesney have been guest game pickers in the past, as well as celebrities like Will Ferrell, Mark Cuban and Charles Barkley. The list goes on and on.
So who is left to make an appearance that people would like to see on the stage with Herbie and Corso?
College GameDay personality Samantha Ponder gave her wishlist for 2016 on Twitter on Sunday evening: Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt.
Who are your top 3 @CollegeGameDay guest picker hopefuls for this year? I think mine are @jtimberlake @carrieunderwood & @SamHuntMusic

Ponder went the musician route, and we can’t really argue with any of her picks. Those would be great.
Who would you like to see making picks on College GameDay this fall?
