This week’s Bedlam matchup is widely known to have possible Playoff implications. All four of the College Gameday crew chose Oklahoma.

This week’s Bedlam matchup is widely known to have possible College Football Playoff implications. All four of the College Gameday crew chose Oklahoma, but the Sooners recent struggles haven’t gone unseen.

Desmond Howard showed some rare confidence in Oklahoma before picking them to win, saying “Jalen Hurts listening to  everyone talk about how he can’t throw the ball, they have a wishbone team. They will beat the Cowboys.”

Shortly after picking Utah against Colorado, and claiming they were one of the four best team’s in the country, Lee Corso asked Rece Davis if this game was his Super Dog. When Davis confirmed he picked the Cowboys to cover the 13-point spread, he said “Oklahoma, big,” amongst the rest of the crew’s laughing.

Kirk Herbstreit picked Oklahoma, but cited their recent turnover struggles, bringing up their -7 turnover margin the last four games. “They gotta protect the ball to be able to win this one.” he said.

Former Minnesota Golden Gopher and NFL wide receiver Eric Decker was the celebrity guest picker, and had confidence in Hurts to clean it up this week.

“Their close games have been because of turnovers, I think it’s gonna be different today. Oklahoma, big.” he said.

The Sooners and Cowboys kick off at 7 p.m. CT in Stillwater.

ESPN’s College GameDay to host show in Minneapolis for Badgers-Gophers

ESPN’s major morning kickoff show will be in Minneapolis for the first time ever, as the Badgers come to town.

Next Saturday in Minneapolis, there will be plenty on the line as the No. 12 Badgers travel to face their biggest rival, the No. 10 Gophers, on the road.

As always, it will be a battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, one that has been played an incredible 128 times, the most in the nation.

In addition, this year’s matchup will be for a spot in the Big Ten Championship game against Ohio State in Indianapolis.

And for the first time in Minneapolis and the history of the Gophers, ESPN’s College GameDay show will be on hand for the matchup, as announced Saturday evening by the worldwide leader in sports.

Wisconsin had recently dominated the series, but Minnesota beat the Badgers in Madison last season to take back the Axe, and remarkably, tie the series at 60-60-8 through 128 games.

The game will be played at 2:30 on ABC next Saturday, while ESPN’s College GameDay can be seen at 9:00 Eastern time Saturday morning to start the full day of college football.

Chip and Joanna Gaines joined Lee Corso with Baylor headgear on ‘GameDay’

The “Fixer Upper” couple made a big entrance on a tracker with Chip behind the wheel.

Lee Corso and ESPN’s College GameDay crew were joined by two guest pickers in Week 12 who are practically as synonymous with Waco, Texas as Baylor is.

Fixer Upper couple and Baylor alumni Chip and Joanna Gaines showed up to Saturday’s broadcast, ahead of No. 10 Oklahoma’s game against undefeated No. 13 Baylor, in style on a tractor to make their picks. Unsurprisingly, Chip was super excited to be behind the wheel of that thing.

The Sooners are 10.5-point favorites on the road, and while Corso made his famous headgear pick, he did one of his classic fake-outs, first going with Oklahoma in what he called “an easy pick.”

But he quickly changed his mind in favor of Baylor, and Chip and Joanna joined him with some Bears headgear of their own.

Here’s a look at Chip and Joanna’s grand entrance to GameDay as well:

Their fandom for Baylor is well documented on HGTV’s Fixer Upper.

In 2017, former Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III appeared in an episode about renovating the house of a Vietnam War veteran. Griffin’s Family of 3 foundation partnered with the Gaines couple to make the project happen, and Chip geeked out over simply being in the general vicinity of Griffin.

The Oklahoma-Baylor game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Lee Corso teases Oklahoma, chooses Baylor on College Gameday

The College Gameday crew finished with a lopsided decision in front of a rowdy Waco crowd on Saturday morning.

The College Gameday crew finished with a lopsided decision in front of a rowdy Waco crowd on Saturday morning, as two picked Baylor to win tonight to Oklahoma’s one.

Lee Corso teased Oklahoma before swapping to Baylor’s Bear mascot head in front of a roaring crowd.

“Oklahoma is a 10-point favorite. Oklahoma is No. 2 in the nation in scoring offense. Oklahoma is 25-3 versus Baylor, this is an easy pick, Oklahoma!” Corso said before the late bait-and-switch. He handed his celebrity pickers each a Bear head before throwing one on himself.

Former Heisman winner Desmond Mason chose first, citing Oklahoma’s recent struggles, but picked the Sooners, saying that “tonight, the Sooners will finish.”

Kirk Herbstreit didn’t pick, as he is calling the game tonight.

Former Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines were the celebrity pickers of the week, and went with their alma mater, Baylor.

No 10 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor will kick off at 6:30 p.m.
