College GameDay, Week 9: Who is the celebrity picker for Penn State vs Ohio State?

College GameDay will be live for the Big Ten battle between Ohio State and Penn State. Who will be the celebrity picker?

The Ohio State Buckeyes are certainly hoping that they fare much better with ESPN’s College GameDay in town this time around. The last time the hit program was in Columbus, the Buckeyes got beat at home by the Oklahoma Sooners.

However, there are even bigger stakes on the line in this game against Penn State. The winner of this game will assume control of their own destiny in the Big Ten East and lock themselves in as a College Football Playoff favorite if they win out.

When these two programs met last season, the Buckeyes went on the road as the favorites. Instead, Penn State pulled off the upset at home and it helped springboard the run that they are currently on.

With Saquon Barkley leading the charge on the ground, Penn State has been unbeatable. Now, they’ll face their biggest test of the season on the road. The Buckeyes are out for revenge and this is a game no one will want to miss.

As is the tradition with College GameDay, there will have to be a celebrity picker. There are plenty of options to choose from for Ohio State, including any NFL players that might be on the bye this week or retired ones. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be on the road on Saturday, so it won’t be him this go around.

GameDay elected to go with another legend and tabbed The Golden Bear to pick the games as Jack Nicklaus will be the celebrity guest picker for today’s episode.

When it comes to Ohio State royalty, there may not be any who have a bigger presence than The Golden Bear, so this is as perfect of a fit as fans could ask for.
