What did everyone’s favorite ESPN analyst have to say about the SEC in Week 1? Take a look:

  • “I think Auburn will compete, but Clemson will win in a close game.”
  • “All we heard about was Jacob Eason and how he’s the best ever, and now he’s not even starting.”
  • Picking Georgia to lose: “North Carolina is going to score…I like Carolina too.”
  • He can’t make a USC-Alabama pick because he’s calling the game.
  • Defensive looks from Jeremy Pruitt and Nick Saban are likely to overwhelm USC quarterback Max Browne.
  • “You look at Bret Bielema who used to be head coach at Wisconsin, you know what he’s done to LSU the last couple years? He’s beaten them.”
  • He wondered if Bielema might have shared some insight on how to beat LSU with Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst, a friend.
  • “I’m going Carolina to upset Kirby Week 1.”
  • Auburn-Clemson in picks segment: “I think the game will be close…As long as No. 4 is on the field, I’ve got Clemson.”
  • Texas A&M-UCLA in picks segment: “I’m going UCLA too, I’ve got the Bruins.”
  • He picked West Virginia over Mizzou.
  • LSU-Wisconsin in picks segment: “The game is going to be physical and low scoring. I think the difference is going to be Brandon Harris. He makes some plays throwing the ball downfield.”
