The GameDay panel will also get to voice their opinion of the season for the first time, previewing the year while making their usual selections for the slate of games ahead of them.

Here's how ESPN's College GameDay picked Florida State vs. Georgia Tech:

Desmond Howard: Florida State

Nick Saban: Florida State

Pat McAfee: Florida State

Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly: Georgia Tech

Kirk Herbstreit: Florida State

It's not a shock to see Florida State favored by the panel, as the preseason No. 11 team in the country reloaded nicely, and head coach Mike Norvell certainly knows how to use transfer portal talent. Georgia Tech, as alluded to by the GameDay panel, is a sleeper team in the conference with their returning talent.

Needless to say, the ~49,000 seated in Aviva Stadium in Dublin could be in for a show as the two teams squaring off in a conference battle in Week 0 will add a spark to the overseas battle.

The College GameDay panel also picked their ACC champions, with Saban and "Sheamus" picking Florida State, Herbstreit chose Clemson, McAfee took Virginia Tech and, finally, Howard picked Miami with a variety of answers coming from the crew.
