PrintESPN's College GameDay crew did their 2011 season picks today, and some of them are a bit surprising. Here are all of their picks in one simple table:
| Category | Corso | Herbstreit | Howard |
| ACC | FSU | FSU over VT | FSU over VT |
| Big 12 | Oklahoma | Oklahoma | Oklahoma |
| Big East | West Virginia | USF | USF |
| Big Ten | Neb. over OSU | OSU over Iowa | Wisc. Over Neb. |
| Pac-12 | Stan. over ASU | Oregon over UCLA | Oregon over ASU |
| SEC | LSU over UGA | Bama over USC | Bama over UGA |
| National Champs | OU over LSU | Oregon over Bama | FSU over Bama |
| Heisman* | L. Jones (OU) | L. James (Oregon) | E.J. Manuel (FSU) |
Chris Fowler picked Andrew Luck for the Heisman, but did not make any team picks.
The guys aren't believers in Trent Richardson for the Heisman, clearly, but they all do have SEC teams in the national championship game. None of them have the SEC's national championship streak continuing to six though.

When EJ Manuel isn't the most egregious selection made, something has gone terribly wrong.
UCLA in the PAC-12 title? Are you kidding me?

Herbie thinks USC will win the division, but with UCLA in second going to the title game thanks to the Trojans’ postseason ban.

Bolts, Preds, Canes (childhood team, home state team, hometown team). Canes mini-STH. Southern hockey solidarity!

'Chris Fowler picked Andrew Luck for the Heisman, but did not make any team picks.'
ESPN’s rules for who can and can’t pick certain things completely confuse me. But Craig James can call Big XIIish games, and that’s completely cool
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
agree
I can understand not picking a winner that the guys are calling but besides that nothing is clear

Some of this should be obvious from the blogpoll ballot, but my picks:

Pac-12: Stanford over Arizona State
SEC: Alabama over South Carolina
MWC: Boise State

Sun Belt: Troy
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Yeah...
but we are missing the most important pick of all.
Who’s gonna win the Colonial League? William and Mary is beast!!!
Who's winning that bloodbath known as SoCon then?
by RjTheMetalhead on Aug 28, 2011 8:07 AM EDT up reply actions
Appalachian state
Of course.
Pauses to realize that I have no clue about SoCon at all.
Next wonders if the SoCon presidents are hand-wringing about who will replace the mountaineers when they make the jump to BCS.
Realizes that all of the SoCon schools won’t miss them at all.
Decides to stop boring the world with pondering on this subject until 2014 Michigan season opener.

UCLA?
Really? I know the PAC-12 south is wide open but outside of Herbie most have UCLA finishing 5th ahead of Colorado
by Jeremy Mauss on Aug 28, 2011 12:56 PM EDT via iPhone app reply actions
here we go
Sec: Bama over USC (i had LSU but its lookin ugly for them)
Acc: FSU over VT
Big Ten: Nebraska over Wisconsin
Big East: West Va with and 8-4 record
Big 12: Texas A&M gig em
Pac 12: Arizona State over Oregon
BCS:
Alabama over Nebraska. Now I don’t necessarily believe Nebraska is a true #2. But with an easy B1G schedule there’s no reason these guys can’t go undefeated in the regular season.
It`s good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.
