College Gameday Picks and Predictions in Georgia vs Notre Dame

  • Desmond Howard: I'm going with Notre Dame.
  • Nick Saban: I'm going to take Georgia. I believe in Gunner Stockton. He's a winner. Georgia knows how to play in these games.
  • Pat McAfee: My name is Patrick McAfee, pretty Irish, I never pick Notre Dame, it continues today.
  • Kirk Herbstreit: I really think Notre Dame is going to come up with a plan that keeps them in this game, but it's Georgia that wins.
  • Lee Corso: I never pick against the Catholics. Gimme the Irish.
