See Lee Corso’s headgear pick for Penn State vs. Ohio State

Lee Corso is picking the Buckeyes to stay undefeated on Saturday.

College GameDay visited the Horseshoe in Columbus for the only ranked matchup of the day, No. 8 Penn State vs. No. 2 Ohio State, and Lee Corso put on his favorite piece of headgear just before kickoff. After Ohio State legend and guest picker Eddie George picked the home team to win, Corso backed the Buckeyes to remain undefeated.

Corso also picked Yale over Harvard, Cincinnati over Temple, SMU over Navy, Virginia Tech over Pitt, Notre Dame over Boston College, Georgia over Texas A&M, Texas over Baylor, USC over UCLA, Iowa over Illinois and Indiana over Michigan.

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.
