College GameDay was live from Eugene on Saturday morning ahead of a big-time Big Ten clash between the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans.
USC is fighting for its Playoff life, as a third loss would doom the Trojans. But winning in Autzen Stadium isn’t easy.
The GameDay crew of Stanford Steve, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by former Oregon star QB Marcus Mariota to pick USC-Oregon and some other major matchups around the country.
In the SEC, it’s “Cupcake Week,” but there are still some big games — the Oklahoma Sooners hosting Mizzou, the Tennessee Volunteers heading to the Swamp to take on Florida and more.
Herbstreit picked Kentucky (+8.5) against Vanderbilt as his super dog pick. McAfee chose Mercer (+27.5) at Auburn as his super dog.
Here’s who the guys think will win the biggest SEC games of Week 13:
No. 22 Mizzou at No. 8 Oklahoma
- Desmond: Oklahoma
- Saban: Oklahoma
- McAfee: Mizzou
- Mariota: Mizzou
- Herbstreit: Oklahoma
Will the guys be proven right? Two think Mizzou can pull off the upset, while 3 have Oklahoma taking care of business. It should be an exciting game down in Norman! The Playoff awaits, so we’ll see if Oklahoma can handle the pressure.
