Lee Corso makes his headgear pick for Georgia vs Alabama, and bucks a trend
The highlight of ESPN College GameDay is seeing Lee Corso don the headgear of the team he thinks will win the game where the pregame show is broadcasting from. This week, in Tuscaloosa, Corso had to choose between Georgia and Alabama.
Corso's pick is sometimes viewed as a curse for the team he picks, but in 2024, he's been quite accurate, going a perfect 4-0 on his picks -- taking Notre Dame over Texas A&M, Texas over Michigan, LSU over South Carolina, and Tennessee over Oklahoma.
