College GameDay has selected its celebrity guest picker for this week. Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun — who make up the band Twenty One Pilots — will join the GameDay crew and make their picks on Saturday.

Joseph is a Columbus native and went to Ohio State for 2 1/2 years before dropping out. Dun is also a Columbus native. Twenty One Pilots was originally a quartet, but it became just Joseph and Dun in 2012.

College GameDay posted a video from Joseph with his reaction to the invitation.

Twenty One Pilots is known for hits such as “Stressed Out, “Chlorine” and “Ride,” among others. Their latest album, Scaled and Icy, was released in May and went as high as No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It also became the top rock and alternative album on the Billboard charts.

College GameDay heads to Columbus for Ohio State-Michigan State

College GameDay will be in Columbus for a big top-10, Big Ten showdown between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 7 Michigan State. It’ll be a battle between two potential Heisman Trophy contenders: Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud and Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III.

Stroud had a huge day against Purdue last week, completing 31 of 38 passes for 361 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Buckeyes to a 59-31 win over the Boilermakers. Walker also continued to roll as he ran 30 carries for 143 yards and two touchdowns to help Michigan State to a 40-21 win over Maryland.

Stroud wasn’t the only Ohio State player to have a big week last week, though. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson had 10 receptions for 126 yards and three touchdowns in the air, and had a 51-yard house call to make four total touchdowns on the day. Freshman running back TreVeyon Henderson had 13 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns, as well.

Michigan State, one week after losing to Purdue, bounced back for a 40-21 win over Maryland. The victory improved the Spartans to 6-1 in Big Ten play, one game back of 8-0 Ohio State for first place in the Big Ten East standings.

The Spartans are tied with Michigan at 6-1 in league play and, despite beating the Wolverines Oct. 30 at Spartan Stadium, were ranked behind them in the latest CFP rankings. Michigan is No. 6 and Michigan State is No. 7, while Ohio State is No. 4 — which would put the Buckeyes in the playoff.

Ohio State is a 19-point favorite in the matchup, which kicks off Saturday at noon ET on ABC.
