“GameDay” forecasts the CFP chaos, Corso’s upset, and McAfee’s outrageous Alabama-Georgia selection.
If ESPN’s “College GameDay” has any say, the College Football Playoff will be nothing but pure madness.
The “GameDay” panel, along with comedian and podcaster Theo Von, made their predictions for conference championship Saturday, and it was pure madness.
“Iowa beats Michigan,” Lee Corso told Kirk Herbstreit before the crew went on the air. Corso pointed to the spread, so Herbstreit assumed Corso picked the Hawkeyes against the spread. Not so fast.But the guys weren’t done.
With potential upsets in the ACC and Big Ten title game, that leaves the door open for Texas in the Big 12 and a potential one-loss SEC Champion and, dare we say, one-loss SEC title game loser? SEC commissioner Greg Sankey certainly thinks so.
“Because of what happened a week ago against Auburn, Nick Saban was able to get that defense together,” Howard said. “They going to make some corrections, some changes. We don’t know about the physical condition of (Georgia’s Ladd) McConkey or (Georgia’s Brock) Bowers, so I’m going with the Tide. RTR!”
“It’s hard to see Nick Saban and Alabama show up as an underdog. Since ‘08, Nick Saban is 5-2 outright when questioned down and gets his team motivated to show up, play with a chip on their shoulder. You can see that trend continuing. He’s 3-1 against Georgia when he is put in that underdog role, but it’s Georgia, man. I’m believing in Georgia to win this game. Carson Beck gets the hero of the day.”
“Alabama, this year, is hoping for a shot at the national title. Georgia’s here because they beat everybody else, and they are better. This is a neutral site, right? We’re still in Georgia. Give me the Dawg.”
