College GameDay, Week 12: Who is the celebrity picker for Michigan vs Wisconsin?

Who will be the celebrity guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay from Madison this Saturday?

It’s time for a Big Ten Conference showdown in Madison this weekend. The Wisconsin Badgers will host the Michigan Wolverines with plenty on the line. If Wisconsin wants to make the College Football Playoff, they will need to go undefeated.

Michigan has been resurgent in recent weeks and is trying to earn their way into a nice bowl game as well. They would love nothing more than to play the spoiler to their Big Ten foe’s party before it even starts.

With such a big game between the two programs going down this week, ESPN’s College GameDay will be live on hand to break down the game. That means Lee Corso and the rest of the fine crew will break down every little thing fans to need to know.

Of course, there will also be a celebrity picker on hand. With two storied programs battling it out, the guest picker could be absolutely anyone. For Wisconsin, having local hero Aaron Rodgers be on hand would be a solid choice.

While he didn’t play there, he’s beloved in the state. Injured Texans defensive star and Houston hero J.J. Watt wouldn’t be bad either. On the Michigan side, superfan Ric Flair would be an awesome choice. After ESPN aired his incredible 30 for 30, he would be a great choice to make the pick. It’s hard to go wrong with this one this week. It all goes down this Saturday morning.

Update 11/18: The guest picker will be actor Craig T. Nelson. The pick may raise an eyebrow because of his lack of a connection to either university. However, this is a promotional opportunity ESPN couldn’t pass up. During College GameDay, the preview for The Incredibles 2 was revealed with a Summer 2018 release date. Nelson stars as Mr. Incredible in the Pixar movie released by Disney.
