College GameDay BYU-Arkansas Picks

Desmond Howard: Arkansas

"KJ Jeffferson has been really good. Five touchdown passes, no interceptions. Completing 73% of his passes, I'm going with the Razorbacks."

Pat McAfee: BYU

"I don't know why I did this, it's just kind of how I feel. Give me BYU. For some reason a mature team, going in there, getting a big-time W."

The Rock (Guest Picker): Arkansas

That [Arkansas] defense kept them in the game last until the offense caught up. I'm going to have to go with Arkansas.

Lee Corso: Arkansas

"Home field advantage Arkansas. Two touchdowns."

Kirk Herbstreit: Arkansas

"BYU going into SEC territory. That I want to see - I want to see how they handle that atmosphere. I know Sanders is out, that puts more on Jefferson. I think he's going to throw the football and also some big runs."

"That's now Big 12 vs the SEC," Rece Davis added. "I'm still getting used to that."
