ESPN’s College GameDay crew headed to Columbus, Ohio, for Saturday morning’s Big Ten East heavyweight fight between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 6 Penn State.
Longtime host Rece Davis was joined by analysts Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit to break down that matchup and the full Week 8 slate of college football.
Given that they were at Ohio State, it only made sense to welcome in C.J. Stroud, the former Buckeye and now Houston Texans rookie quarterback, to serve as this week’s guest picker.
Along the way, the crew shared their thoughts and picks on Iowa-Minnesota as the Floyd of Rosedale took center stage on College GameDay.
Host Rece Davis set the stage for the picks with this little jab.
“You guys know how I love the history of this sport. There was a time in football where the forward pass was illegal. In a related story, Minnesota and Iowa will play today,” Davis said.
OK, Rece, we get it. Here’s the crews picks.
