ESPN College GameDay: Picks for Week 11, BYU at Texas Tech

ESPN brought College GameDay to Lubbock in Week 11. The BYU Cougars took the trip to Hub City to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a massive Big 12 showdown.
BYU is undefeated heading into the matchup, while Texas Tech is looking to stake their claim to being one of the top teams in all of college football. Whichever team is victorious will be in the cat-bird seat in the Big 12 moving forward, so a ton is on the line for the Big 12 as a whole when the Cougars and Red Raiders face off.
With that in mind, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Celebrity Guest Picker Patrick Mahomes are ready to lock in their predictions. Check them out in full below, and see if you agree with their commentary for Saturday’s top showdowns.
ESPN College GameDay Picks for Week 11:
BYU at Texas Tech: No pick from Herbstreit, since he’s on the call. There was no controversy, as everyone is riding with the Red Raiders to defeat the Cougars in Week 11.
Florida State at Clemson: This could’ve been a money matchup, but this is how the cookie has crumbled in the ACC. Only McAfee believes in the Seminoles.
LSU at Alabama: Can Frank Wilson lead the Tigers to a shocking win? Nobody is that big of a believer, as they’re all on the Crimson Tide.
Texas A&M at Missouri: It might be a tough one on the road for the Aggies. Still, everyone is rocking with Texas A&M.
Georgia at Mississippi State: There aren’t any big believers in Mississippi State. The whole crew is rocking with Georgia.
Wake Forest at Virginia: McAfee and Herbstreit have the Demon Deacons pulling off the upset. The rest of the crew are on the Cavaliers.
Oregon at Iowa: Herbstreit has been outspoken, picking the Hawkeyes. The rest of the crew is on the Ducks.
