ESPN College GameDay: Picks for Week 13, USC at Oregon

ESPN brought College GameDay back to Eugene in Week 13. The Oregon Ducks are hosting the USC Trojans in a classic PAC-12 showdown taking on some new life inside the Big Ten.

Oregon is no stranger to competing for the College Football Playoff, as they were the top seed in last season’s 12-team dance. The reigning champions of the Big Ten have designs on getting back there after coming up short, but USC wants to usher in a new era of success under Lincoln Riley. They’ll have to be victorious on the road to get that done.

Whether that rings true with his team or not remains to be seen. Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Celebrity Guest Picker Marcus Mariota 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.

USC at Oregon: No drama here. A crowd-pleasing pick segment, as everyone is riding with the Ducks to beat the Trojans on Saturday afternoon.

Missouri at Oklahoma: McAfee and Mariota believe the Tigers throw a wrench into the College Football Playoff rankings. On the other hand, Howard, Saban and Herbstreit are picking the Sooners.
