How did College GameDay talents predict Georgia-LSU SEC Championship?
Georgia fans got their biggest wish. Lee Corso wore the LSU Tiger head in his famed show-ending headgear segment.
The ESPN pregame show, hosted outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, analyzed the Bulldogs’ playoff chances dependent upon the result of the game. Some of the scenarios involved a close loss to LSU and Baylor win over Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.
A significant loss to LSU eliminates all discussion due to Georgia’s 20-17 loss to South Carolina (4-8) in Sanford Stadium. There were plenty of “if LSU wins” modifiers during the conversation, so then came the “Saturday Selection” segment of picks.
Most of the College GameDay analysts agree with Corso.
