ESPN College GameDay Staff Picks Ohio State vs. Michigan Winner

Pabio December 1, 2024

ESPN College Game Day is not available for Ohio State vs. Michigan game, but you know they’re keeping an eye on what’s happening in Columbus. If the Buckeyes win, they go to Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis. They’ve probably already landed a spot in the College Football Playoffs but I’m looking for a higher seed.

Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and gang all take turns choosing the winner of “The Game” and we love following what they all say. You can probably guess who was chosen by one of the members, but the rest was kind of up in the air – sort of since one team is much better than the other.

Here’s how each member of the ESPN College GameDay team decided on their choice between Ohio State and Michigan.

Desmond Howard

The prediction

You know exactly who Howard chose. The home run analyst followed his alma mater by simply saying, “In the words of Nick Saban, ‘is it even necessary to ask?’ » Howard would choose Michigan over the 1985 Bears if he had the chance.

The prediction

Saban was somewhat level-headed as always, but added that “he coached at Ohio State” and he picks the Buckeyes.

Pat McAfee

The prediction

McAfee has gone against the grain in Ohio State’s last two games and singled against the Buckeyes. This time, however, he goes all-in with a victory for the Scarlets and Grays.

The prediction

Dude Perfect’s Tyler Toney was in attendance as celebrity guest selector for the Texas Longhorns while they assume the Texas A&M Aggies SATURDAY. And while he may be a Longhorns fan, he’s also known to follow Michigan. He set it up like he was picking the Wolverines, but then pivoted and said Ohio State would win big.

Lee Corso also went with Ohio State, a team he picked and covered more than any other in College GameDay history.

The prediction

Herbie tries to be as level-headed as anyone, and in fact, if Buckeye Nation has any criticism of him, it’s that he’s too hard on Ohio State for fear of looking like a home run. Still, he chose Ohio State because the Buckeyes are by far the better team.
