Who’s the celebrity picker for College GameDay Week 1, Auburn vs Oregon?
College GameDay is back for another exciting season and it all kicks off with Auburn vs. Oregon in Week 1. Who is this week’s guest picker?
While the first installment of ESPN’s College GameDay officially took place last weekend in Orlando, this weekend has a much more fall-like feel.
Week 0 was fun and all, but Disney World wasn’t the place that everyone had expected to see College GameDay when the season began — especially not the famous Washington State flag. But seeing as Miami and Florida had a great matchup looming, it was a no-brainer (well that and the fact that there were only two games to choose from).
Now that there is a full slate on Saturday, the GameDay crew is heading to Sundance Square in Fort Worth, Texas, to play host to the Auburn vs. Oregon game at AT&T Stadium.
While it’s not on either team’s campus, the GameDay crew still has to make a decision about a celebrity picker and they always have ties to one of the schools. Would the crew select an Oregon fan or alum or go with Auburn?
Well, it looks like Bo Jackson will be the choice, making Auburn fans happy.
Bo Knows. And fans of the Tigers are hoping he knows what the outcome will be as Auburn faces arguably the top quarterback prospect for the 2020 NFL Draft — he’s up there with Tua Tagovailoa — in Justin Herbert.
Jackson is a fun celebrity picker because he’s a proud Auburn alum and he’s a college football legend. We all know he’s going to pick the Tigers, but at least he’ll have the respect of both sides.
