College GameDay was live from Boise on Saturday morning ahead of a major Group of 6 showdown between Boise State and Oregon State.
The crew of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by Boise State legend Ian Johnson to pick winners for some of the biggest Week 11 games around the country, including a few out of the SEC. Johnson, of course, was the Boise State running back who proposed after scoring to beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
An FAA ground stoppage caused some chaos in the travel plans for many teams, but it appears a large portion of Saturday’s games are going on as scheduled.
Howard picked Arkansas (+7.5) against South Carolina as his superdog. McAfee chose Texas (+4.5) at LSU as his superdog.
Here’s who the crew thinks will win some of the biggest games of Week 11 in the SEC:
No. 6 Texas at No. 21 LSU
- Desmond: LSU
- Saban: LSU
- McAfee: Texas
- Johnson: Texas
- Herbstreit: No pick (he’s calling the game)
Florida at No. 11 Kentucky
- Desmond: Kentucky
- Saban: Kentucky
- McAfee: Florida
- Johnson: Kentucky
- Herbstreit: Kentucky
Will the guys be proven right? We’ll find out over the course of an exciting Week 11 slate in the SEC!
