Sheamus was the other WWE athlete to pick games this season. He was on College Gameday during Week 0 in Dublin, Ireland for Georgia Tech/Florida State to begin the years.
Among the games that the Gameday team and Cody Rhodes picked during “Saturday Selections” was No. 6 BYU versus Kansas.
College Gameday Picks For BYU/Kansas
- Desmond Howard: BYU
- Nick Saban: BYU
- Pat McAfee: BYU
- Cody Rhodes: Kansas
- Lee Corso: BYU
- Kirk Herbstreit: Kansas
Rhodes went with Kansas because he knew a former wrestling tag team named “The Jayhawks.”
Kirk Herbstreit joined Rhodes in picking Kansas. It’s the second consecutive week that Herbstreit went against BYU.
Nick Saban was nervous about his pick of BYU. He referenced a college basketball team always needing late-game victories and how they can wear on a squad. That made him nervous about BYU because they have recently needed some last-minute victories.
