Lee Corso’s College GameDay headgear pick: Alabama vs. Florida State

Lee Corso picked his second mascot to impersonate this week. Here’s who he picked for the Alabama vs. Florida State Week 1 matchup.

Lee Corso will get a  chance to pick up two wins with his headgear selections in just three days. College GameDay opened things on Thursday at Indiana, Corso’s former place of employment. Corso threw aside his personal attachment and donned the heavily favored Brutus Buckeye head. Today, he chooses between the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide and the No. 3 Florida State Seminoles.

College GameDay is in Atlanta for the first time since the SEC Championship Game in 2012. Alabama was featured in that game as well. The Crimson Tide have been had a starring role in GameDay 39 times as the show begins its 25th season, more than any other school. Florida State has appeared 33 times.

This is Atlanta’s 12th time hosting GameDay, but they are in a new location this time around. The game tonight will be played at the newly finished Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The show itself is shooting just outside of where all the action will be tonight. Hundreds of sign-wielding fans have flooded International Plaza, a patch of grass surrounded by the Georgia Dome, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Phillips Arena.

Corso has had great success picking both FSU and Alabama. The former Florida State quarterback has gone 13-6 picking the Seminoles. The record is more impressive when you consider Corso’s predilection to pick his alma mater even when it is mostly out of sentimentality.  Wearing the Big Al head of the Crimson Tide, Corso has gone 17-9.

Corso took the favorite for the second straight show. The Crimson Tide are 7-point favorites tonight. Picking with his head over his heart worked in Bloomington, will it pay off again?
