ESPN College GameDay Picks for Week 14:

Texas at Texas A&M: The return of one of college football’s greatest rivalries, with the backdrop of SEC conference play for the first time ever. Howard started it off with a pick of the Aggies, and while Saban showered the crowd with some love, he chose Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns.

McAfee, on the other hand, got the crowd fired up by picking Mike Elko’s team, and Dude Perfect of course rode with Marcel Reed and the Aggies, as well. Herbstreit is on the call, so he’s not picking the game, but Corso broke the crowd’s heart, picking Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns.

Michigan at Ohio State: Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are hoping to end a three-year losing streak to the Wolverines. Only Howard believes Sherrone Moore and Michigan can make it four straight, as everyone else is on Will Howard and the Buckeyes capping off their season with a convincing win.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt: McAfee and Dude Perfect believe in the Commodores, but everyone else is on the Volunteers and Josh Heupel to get the win in Nashville.

Auburn at Alabama: After a miserable loss to Oklahoma last weekend, can the Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide bounce back in the Iron Bowl? Howard, Saban, McAfee and Dude Perfect believe in Alabama, while Corso and Herbstreit are on Hugh Freeze, Payton Thorne and the Tigers.

Notre Dame at USC: Lincoln Riley and the Trojans would love nothing more than to spoil the Fighting Irish’s College Football Playoff dream with a second loss. However, the whole crew is rocking with Riley Leonard and Notre Dame to get the win.

Miami at Syracuse: Cam Ward and the Hurricanes are looking to clinch their spot in the ACC Championship Game. Only Herbstreit believes in Kyle McCord and the Orange pulling the upset.

California at SMU: The whole crew is riding with the Ponies, as Rhett Lashlee and company prepare for next weekend’s ACC Championship Game.

Houston at BYU: A showdown between two Cougars. Everyone is on BYU and quarterback Jake Retzlaff.

Kansas State at Iowa State: The Cyclones have a shot at heading back to the Big 12 Championship Game. Will they get the job done? Only Dude Perfect believes in Avery Johnson’s Wildcats upsetting Iowa State.

Arizona State at Arizona: The whole crew believes in the Sun Devils in Week 14, and Kenny Dillingham bringing Arizona State to the Big 12 title game.
