College GameDay: Picks for Week 11

ESPN’s College GameDay brought the party and the bowties this weekend, traveling to Oxford, Mississippi for a huge SEC showdown between Texas A&M and Ole Miss. The energy was palpable and the tailgating was legendary, as the Rebels faithful let the world hear their pride.

With a gigantic crowd on-hand prior to a riveting matchup, the College GameDay crew made their selections for Saturday’s games. Furthermore, many wanted Katy Perry to return to Oxford as this week’s guest picker. After she revealed she wouldn’t be able to make it to the set, she unveiled a suitable replacement — Lane Kiffin.

Before the Rebels coach takes the field against Texas A&M, he joined the College GameDay crew on set. With the anticipation reaching its zenith, Kiffin, Desmond Howard, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit made their picks for another exciting Saturday slate.

All of GameDay’s Week 11 picks:

Texas A&M at Ole Miss: “I’m really concerned about Matt Corral’s ankle issue. I’m going to go Aggies over Ole Miss,” stated Howard, picking the Aggies.

“I can’t pick against myself — Ole Miss Rebels!” said Kiffin, of course.

After harkening back to the time he picked against Ole Miss and Katy Perry made him pay for it, Corso wouldn’t make the same mistake again. Today, Corso chose the Ole Miss helmet while picking the Rebels.

Georgia at Tennessee: “I think it’s going to be a tougher game than people think .. but Georgia will win this game in Knoxville,” said Howard. Herbstreit and Corso are in agreement, but Kiffin makes perhaps the most shocking pick of the season.

“It’s a very dangerous place to play,” Kiffin said, as he reveals he’s rolling with Tennessee.

Washington State at Oregon: “Oregon’s just got too much firepower,” stated Kiffin. Everyone is on Oregon.

Purdue at Ohio State: “I think Purdue, after a huge upset .. they’ve got a bullseye. They’ve got Ohio State’s attention,” stated Herbstreit. Everyone is on Ohio State.

Michigan at Penn State: “Cade McNamara is going to have a great day today. I got Michigan over Penn State,” said Howard. Corso and Kiffin are on Michigan, but Herbstreit has confidence in Penn State and Sean Clifford.

Minnesota at Iowa: “Went to high school in Minnesota — Golden Gophers,” stated Kiffin. Herbstreit agrees with Kiffin, while Howard and Corso are with the Hawkeyes.

TCU at Oklahoma State: It’s a clean sweep — everyone is on Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma at Baylor: “This is where Oklahoma gets their chance to start to climb the ladder,” said Herbstreit. Only Kiffin is picking against the Sooners.

NC State at Wake Forest: “I’m going Wolfpack on the road,” stated Herbstreit. Kiffin agrees, picking NC State. However, Howard and Corso are looking for Wake Forest to rebound.

Notre Dame at Virginia: “We do play tonight, so it would be impossible for me to go against Touchdown Jesus,” stated Kiffin. Everyone is on the Fighting Irish.

Miami at Florida State: “Florida State is my school — who do you think I’m going to pick?” stated Corso. Unfortunately for Corso, he’s alone in that sentiment.

Mississippi State at Auburn: “You can’t come into The Grove and pick Mississippi State .. plus Bo Nix is going to bounce back,” stated Howard. However, Kiffin did just that — he was the lone picker to go with the Bulldogs.
