College GameDay: Picks for Week 12

ESPN’s College GameDay brought the party to Columbus, Ohio in Week 12 for a top 10 matchup between Big Ten East foes Ohio State and Michigan State. With a huge, rowdy crowd surrounding the stage, the GameDay crew enjoyed looking across the sea of signs.

With a massive crowd on-hand prior to the game, the College GameDay crew made their selections for Week 12’s biggest games. Furthermore, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots joined the panel as this week’s guest pickers. Joseph is a long-time Ohio resident who attended Ohio State.

All College GameDay’s Week 12 picks:

Michigan State at Ohio State: It’s a sweep! No one dared pick against the Phio State offense in Columbus, Ohio.

Bud Crawford vs Shawn Porter: Desmond Howard and the Twenty One Pilots crew is in agreement that Crawford will wear down Porter and reclaim the belt over the late rounds.

Texas at West Virginia: Kirk Herbstreit avoids the sweep, calling for a bounce back win for Texas.

Virginia at Pitt: The panel is in agreement that Kenny Pickett and the Pitt offense will outscore Brennan Armstrong and Virginia.

Wake Forest at Clemson: The panel is split 2-2, unsure of whether Wake Forest’s strength of schedule has prepared them for the Clemson defense.

SMU at Cincinnati: Twenty One Pilots calls Cincinnati a “little brother” in the state of Ohio, calling for a big day from SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai.

Iowa State at Oklahoma: Questions about the Sooners remain, but Howard is the only one picking Matt Campbell’s Iowa State team.

Baylor at Kansas State: Baylor is riding high after the win over Oklahoma, but Lee Corso believes defense travels to Manhattan, Kansas.

UCLA at USC: A matchup of home jerseys in the Los Angeles Coliseum has the College GameDay crew picking the Bruins, but Twenty One Pilots is picking USC.

Oregon at Utah: Twenty One Pilots showed the Ohio State fandom by picking Oregon to lose – if not this week then next – but the College GameDay crew is sticking with the red-hot Ducks.

Arkansas at Alabama: It’s a sweep for Alabama. However, Corso sees the Crimson Tide falling one point short of the over.
