ESPN College GameDay: Picks for Week 10, Ohio State at Penn State
ESPN gave the Big Ten clash between Ohio State and Penn State the College GameDay treatment once again in 2024, with this year’s iteration taking place in Happy Valley during Week 10.
Of course, the crew was on-hand for the Buckeyes’ victory over the Nittany Lions in Columbus last season, but James Franklin’s team is trying to prove they’re among the elite in college football by bucking Ohio State’s recent dominance over them on Saturday. Elsewhere, Duke takes on Miami in an underrated ACC contest, and Oregon travels to Ann Arbor to face Michigan for the first time as conference foes.
Joining the fun as this weekend’s Celebrity Guest Picker was comedian Keegan-Michael Key. Key has been in several hit TV shows, including Key & Peele, which he won a Primetime Emmy Award for. He has also been in Mad TV, Playing House, Friends from College and Reboot. He even had a smaller recurring role in Parks and Recreation.
With that in mind, check out all of the picks from this week’s iteration of College GameDay below, including Lee Corso’s famed head-gear selection, and see if they’re rolling with the Buckeyes or the Nittany Lions, among others.
ESPN College GameDay Picks for Week 10:
Ohio State at Penn State: It’s time for the College GameDay crew to lock in their picks for the biggest game of the Week 10 slate. Howard and Herbstreit are on the Buckeyes, while Saban, McAfee and Key are rocking with the Nittany Lions.

Texas A&M at South Carolina: Texas A&M is on the up and up, will that continue against South Carolina? Only Key had the guts to ride with the Gamecocks on Saturday.
