ESPN’s College GameDay will be on hand for Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State this week. Who will be the celebrity picker?
It’s time for Bedlam this week, as the Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys do battle in Stillwater. With both teams in the hunt in the College Football Playoff rankings, this is a pivotal game for both. As is the case, ESPN’s College GameDay will be live from Stillwater.
The winner will see their chances of making it in remain alive, while the loser will see those chances come to a crashing halt. The Sooners are right on the outside looking in and know if they keep winning, they’re next in line.
However, the Cowboys know that knocking off the Sooners would virtually move them into their spot and put them right on the outside looking in as well. These two teams have a rich storied rivalry.

Corso and company will be on bright and early to preview the game along with the rest of what’s on tap for the week. With a big game between two huge programs, there will be a celebrity picker.
For Oklahoma, there are many great selections to be made. Jim Ross would be a great choice, along with any of the former players that have had big careers for them. For the Oklahoma State side of things, Barry Sanders wouldn’t be a bad choice. One of the greatest running backs of all time would offer excellent insight into the game he has played in before.
Update: To that point, a former Oklahoma State running back will be the guest picker. It’ll be none other than Thurman Thomas on site to pick the winner of Bedlam and the rest of the big games from Week 10. Shouldn’t be any surprise who he’s picking between his alma mater and Oklahoma.
