ESPN'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.
