Ohio State football is going to be playing at the site of ESPN’s ‘College Gameday’ for the first time this season Saturday when it squares off with No. 3 Oregon.
It is likely that it has a few more games in front of the hit show with Penn State and Michigan on its schedule before the end of the year.
For each show, there is a guest picker, usually someone with familiarity to the university which the football personalities take over for a few hours. It would help if they were relatively well-known too.
ESPN hit both of those with this selection. Actress and Oregon alum Kaitlin Olson, per OregonLive.com, will be in Eugene on Saturday to make her selection, which really isn’t in doubt.

Olson is best known for her role in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 49, the actress was born in Portland and graduated from Tigard High School. She studied theater arts at Oregon.
With Ohio State as a favorite, it will likely be the pick to win this game by most of America; however, there’s almost a zero percentage chance that Olson will take the Buckeyes on Saturday.
This will be the first time in the college football season that two top-three programs battle.
