Lee Corso Leaked His College Football Playoff Picks Friday Morning

Corso predicts an all-SEC showdown again in the College Football Playoff title game.

ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso for years would make fans wait until the end of the network's flagship college football show to hear his picks for the biggest games of the day. In the past few weeks, though, that has changed.

Fellow analyst Kirk Herbstreit spoke with Corso on Friday morning and let him reveal his picks early. It shouldn't shock you to hear that Corso is going with an all-SEC final.

Corso thinks that Cincinnati will be able to move the ball against Alabama, but in the end, the Crimson Tide will prevail by 14 points—just covering the spread seen in most books as of Friday.

He thinks the matchup between Michigan and Georgia will be tight but predicts that the Bulldogs will edge the Wolverines by three points. That said, he isn't sold on Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett having enough skills to win his team a national title.

Corso has been picking Georgia to win the national title all season long, but his comments on Bennett make it seem like he's wavering. If both Alabama and Georgia win, we'll find out next week who he will pick to take home the trophy in the title game.
