ESPN’s College GameDay will be live for Michigan and Penn State this week. Who will be the celebrity picker?
Week 8 of the college football season is here to grace us all with the eloquence that we have come to expect from such a fine season. Last week, chaos took over and made sure to flip everything upside down. This week, it’s a chance for the order to be restored. Saturday morning, ESPN’s College GameDay will break down the week ahead.
There’s a huge Big Ten Conference game brewing this week with plenty of implications. The Michigan Wolverines will hit the road to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in a game that will springboard the winner.
Penn State, of course, is carried by running back Saquon Barkley. The running back has emerged as a top Heisman candidate and has been the most dangerous running back that college football has seen in quite some time.
Michigan, on the other hand, has been all about the defensive side of the ball. Their offense has struggled and has undergone some changes. Still, their defense is nasty and willing to fight with the best overall.
This is a game where the winner is going to have big things in their sights in terms of winning the conference. The loser will have to take a step back and hope that their season isn’t too far past the point of no return.

With College GameDay on hand, that means there is going to be a celebrity picker. With a Penn State alumni the likely choice here, there are plenty of great selections. Keegan-Michael Key would be a great choice for the entertainment side of things and he’s done this before.
Update 10/21: Former Penn State running back and former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick, Ki-Jana Carter is the guest picker on College GameDay.
