College GameDay is off to the east coast for an All-ACC showdown between Boston College and College Football Playoff favorite Clemson. Who did Lee Corso pick?
Appearing on College GameDay is nothing new for Clemson. They earned a spot in the limelight against Texas A&M in Week 2, defeating the Aggies on the road. Boston College, though, boasts much less of a track record on the popular Saturday morning show. The Tigers were expected to roll through the ACC — they are, but the Eagles were thought to be in the middle of the pack entering the season.
Now Boston College sits at No. 17 in the nation, well within striking distance on No. 2 Clemson. Hosting the Tigers as big underdogs, the Eagles are hoping they can find enough magic to engineer what would be one of the more stunning upsets of the 2018 season so far. No matter the odds, their fans showed up in full force ready to cheer on their team through the cold.
Lee Corso took his seat next to fellow hosts Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard on a chilly College GameDay set. The usual faces made their predictions for Week 10, selecting winners for all the undercard games before reaching the primetime contest between Clemson and Boston College.
Corso toyed with the crowd briefly before announcing his selection, with the usual amount of flair and grandiosity, picking Clemson to win the game.

Outside of Clemson and Boston College, ACC member Florida State has the most interesting matchup with Ian Book-less Notre Dame. Also on deck during another busy weekend of college football are games between Ohio State and Michigan State, Auburn and Georgia, and Texas and Texas Tech. Stuck right in between the early and late slates is the annual Bedlam rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
