The gymnast and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher were the guest pickers because they are both LSU alumni.
One of the games on the slate of “Saturday Selections” was the heated in-state BYU/Utah rivalry.
Dunne and Skenes picked BYU to take down the Utes.
Most of the panel picked BYU as well.
“I like BYU. I just think those issues on offense are going to be too much to overcome [for Utah],” said Nick Saban.

- Pat McAfee: BYU
- Paul Skenes & Livvy Dunne: BYU
- Lee Corso: BYU
- Kirk Herbstreit: Utah
The only College Gameday host who didn’t pick BYU was surprising. Kirk Herbstreit primarily rode with BYU when they were featured in the “Saturday Selections” portion of the show this season.
Herbstreit has picked BYU in his previous five Gameday picks involving the Cougars.
“I’m going with a Utah team that started the year 4-0. They’ve lost four in a row. They’re 4-4, they can save their season. This is what college football is all about; rivalry type of games saving your season. Utah at home, pulls off the upset.”
Lee Corso, who has typically picked against BYU this season, went with the Cougars in his pick of the heated rivalry game.
