College GameDay: See Lee Corso’s picks for Week 11 games and the Masters

College GameDay set up camp at Augusta National for the Masters for this week’s show.

ESPN’s College GameDay set up camp in an unusually serene spot Saturday, broadcasting from the Masters Tournament, which is finally being played after originally being postponed from April because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the GameDay crew was pretty pumped about doing the show at the iconic Georgia course.

Lee Corso, however, was broadcasting from his home studio in Orlando, like he has been all season. But his backdrop was still fabulously decorated as if he was sitting on the course at Augusta National, complete with a scoreboard, flag and giant, legendary photos of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in the background. Corso was even wearing a Masters tie.

And, perfect for the occasion, Nicklaus was also the guest picker of the week.

Because GameDay wasn’t on location highlighting a marquee matchup this week, Corso didn’t do a traditional headgear pick. He, and the rest of the show’s squad, still made plenty of picks for Saturday’s games, but when it came time for their final round of picks, they shared who they think will win the Masters.

Desmond Howard and Nicklaus picked Justin Thomas, Kirk Herbstreit went with Jon Rahm and, because he’s from Florida State, Corso went with Brooks Koepka, putting on an FSU helmet.

Corso also picked Nebraska over Penn State, Purdue over No. 23 Northwestern, No. 13 Wisconsin over Michigan, West Virginia over TCU, No. 20 USC over Arizona, No. 6 Florida over Arkansas, No. 2 Notre Dame over Boston College.

GameDay also obviously had multiple tributes and segments about the Masters and Augusta National.
