An oldie but goodie received the College GameDay treatment from ESPN in Week 11, with the Alabama Crimson Tide heading to Death Valley to take on the LSU Tigers on Saturday evening.

Joining the fun as the Celebrity Guest Picker(s) was none other than an LSU power couple, as star gymnast Livvy Dunne and former ace pitcher Paul Skenes will join the show in Baton Rouge. It’s the first pair of guest pickers of 2024, and the duo will surely be warmly received by the Tiger faithful.

In addition to the fun between the Crimson Tide and Tigers, Georgia will take on Ole Miss, Florida battles Texas and Michigan will face Indiana. Ahead of all of the action on Saturday, the College GameDay crew is locking in their predictions. Check them out in full below.

ESPN College GameDay Picks for Week 11:

Alabama at LSU: Herbstreit is calling the game, so there’s no pick from the analyst, but the rest of the crew had to make a decision. Saban coached at both schools, but he’s rocking with the Crimson Tide, where he became a legend.

On the other hand, Howard, McAfee, Skenes and Dunne are riding with the Tigers. While Corso swerved the crowd with a quick rendition of “Sweet Home Alabama,” he eventually came over to the purple and gold, riding with LSU, as well.

Georgia at Ole Miss: A huge SEC contest with major implications, but only Howard and Corso believe the Rebels can shock the world.

BYU at Utah: It’s the Holy War in Week 11 — Herbstreit is the only one riding with the Utes at home.

Colorado at Texas Tech: Lubbock isn’t an easy place to play, but Corso is the only one picking against Coach Prime in Week 11.

South Carolina at Vanderbilt: The Commodores are almost a touchdown underdog at home, but Saban, Skenes and Dunne believe Vanderbilt can pull the upset.

Army at North Texas: Can the Black Knights keep the good times rolling against the Mean Green? There’s no saving the graphic here, as everyone is on Army.
