Who did ESPN College GameDay pick in the Penn State-Ohio State game?

You know it’s a big game when ESPN’s traveling road show makes a stop on your campus. With Penn State hosting Ohio State in a top-five Big Ten matchup, this week’s destination for ESPN College GameDay was pretty obvious. It’s always fun when GameDay puts on their show outside of Beaver Stadium, and they weren’t alone this week! Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff set up its pregame show on the other side of the Bryce Jordan Center, creating a large showcase outside the football stadium.

Desmond Howard started taking Ohio State, which must hurt the former Michigan Wolverine. Kirk Herbstreit also sided with the Buckeyes, which was perhaps expected.

Pat McAfee, who also did his radio show from Penn State’s campus on Friday, played for the home crowd by taking the Nittany Lions over the Buckeyes.

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, making his first visit to State College since coaching the Crimson Tide against Penn State in 2011, chose the Nittany Lions.

ESPN tapped noted Penn State alum and fan Keegan Michael-Key to be this week’s celebrity guest picker, so you know which way to go with his pick in today’s game against the Buckeyes. He did not disappoint by taking Penn State

Lee Corso closed the weekly election segment by donning the mascot head of Brutus, Ohio State’s mascot. Corso has a history of wearing the Ohio State mascot’s head, and he did so today with a “not so fast” for Michael-Key.

How will these picks hold up? We’re finding out!
