ESPN College GameDay won’t be on site for the Ohio State-Michigan game, but you know they’re keeping an eye on what’s going on in Columbus. If the Buckeyes win, they will go to the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis. They’ve most likely already secured a spot in the College Football Playoff, but are looking for a higher ranking.

Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and the others took turns choosing the winner of “The Game” and we’re happy to follow what they all say. You can probably guess who one member picked, but the rest were kind of up in the air – sort of because one team is way better than the other.

Here’s how each member of the ESPN College GameDay crew picked the Ohio State vs. Michigan game.

Desmond Howard

The prediction

You know exactly who Howard picked. The homer analyst echoed his alma mater by simply saying, “In the words of Nick Saban, ‘Do you even have to ask?'” Howard would choose Michigan over the 1985 Bears if he had the had a chance to do so.

Nick Saban

The prediction

Saban was somewhat even-tempered, as always, but added that he “worked out at Ohio State” and is choosing the Buckeyes.

Pat McAfee

The prediction

McAfee went against the grain in Ohio State’s final games and prevailed against the Buckeyes. This time, however, he is on the safe side with a victory for Scarlet and Gray.

Tyler Toney from “Dude Perfect”

The prediction

Dude Perfect’s Tyler Toney was a featured guest picker for the Texas Longhorns as they take on the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. And while he’s a Longhorns fan, he’s also known for following Michigan. He made it sound like he was picking the Wolverines, but then turned around and said Ohio State would win by a big margin.

Lee Corso

The prediction

Lee Corso was also there for Ohio State, a team he has picked and covered more than any other in College GameDay history.

Kirk Herbstreit

The prediction

Herbie tries to be as even-keeled as everyone else, and if Buckeye Nation actually blames him, it’s for being too hard on Ohio State for fear of looking like a home run. Still, he chose Ohio State because the Buckeyes are by far the better team.
