The Orange Bowl isn’t for a couple of weeks still, but that isn’t stopping Pierce the Miami Zoo porcupine from making his pick in the College Football Playoff semifinal game.
On Monday, Pierce was let out of his cage to approach the helmet of either Alabama or Oklahoma, and he’s thinking upset.
As you can see below, Pierce went to the Oklahoma helmet over the Alabama helmet, favoring the No. 4 Sooners over the No. 1 Tide:

Nick Saban has been wanting some negativity all year, so now he can rally his team around the disrespect shown by this porcupine.
Oh, that and the fact that Heisman voters gave the trophy to Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray over Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa. But really, these are equal in terms of bulletin-board material.
