College GameDay was live on Rocky Top on Saturday morning ahead of a massive SEC battle between the Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers.
It’s a big day in the SEC, with the Florida Gators visiting the LSU Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies visiting Notre Dame. The Alabama Crimson Tide host Wisconsin to get the day started.
The College GameDay crew of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit were joined by Tennessee legend Candace Parker to pick winners for the biggest Week 3 games.
Stanford Steve picked South Alabama (+24.5) as his super dog against Auburn. Desmond and Kirk both picked Arkansas (+6.5) at Ole Miss as their super dogs. McAfee picked Texas A&M (+6.5) at Notre Dame as his super dog.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The crew picked the Alabama-Wisconsin against the spread this week. So when Desmond picks Wisconsin, for example, he’s picking the Badgers to cover the 20.5-point spread.
