Pat McAfee Finally Picked Against the Home Team on ‘College GameDay’

While no one can replace Lee Corso on College GameDay, Pat McAfee has stepped in as the final analyst to give his picks during the show's famous closing segment. And on Saturday, we finally saw McAfee go out on a limb and pick the road team while serving from that coveted final spot.

During his headgear picks, Corso would often play the heel, toying with the home fans before pulling out the road mascot head, drawing a wave of boos from the crowd. McAfee hasn't come up with a similar gimmick yet, beyond his default boundless energy, but with his WWE background he knows about drawing heat. After spending the morning playing up the impressive GameDay environment in Eugene, Ore., praising the Autzen Stadium crowd and the national championship-hopeful Ducks, McAfee stuck with his local team for his pick between Oregon and Indiana.
