The third weekend of college football games is slated to kick off Saturday afternoon, leaving millions to start their day with ESPN’s premier pregame CFB show, College GameDay.
Last week’s episode aired live inside Ann Arbor’s Michigan Stadium for Saturday’s noon Eastern time kick between Michigan and Texas, setting the defending CFP champs and a perennial powerhouse against each other in the Great Lakes State.
This weekend’s GameDay makes its long awaited return to Columbia to take in South Carolina’s SEC clash against LSU, with ESPN’s pregame show returning to South Carolina’s capital city for the first time since 2014 when the Gamecocks hosted Missouri.
All year long, BetTennessee.com will cover the latest Tennessee sports betting hot topics and update hypothetical odds on who the guest picker on GameDay will be, with this week’s update covering Week 3 of the regular season.
Celebrity Guest Picker | Percentage Chance | Odds |
Darius Rucker, musician and Gamecocks fan | 25.0% | +300 |
Dawn Staley, current USC Women’s Basketball Coach | 20.0% | +400 |

Jadeveon Clowney, former USC football player | 11.1% | +800 |
Xavier Legette, former USC football player | 11.1% | +800 |

Right now, the odds-on favorites to join Rece Davis and company come Saturday morning are award-winning singer and South Carolina alum Darius Rucker (+300) and legendary women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley (+400).
Throw in former South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier at +600 and a pair of former Gamecocks stars in Jadeveon Clowney and Xavier Legette at +800 apiece and you have the full rundown of the favorites to be this week’s guest picker on GameDay.
Regardless of who gets tabbed, ESPN’s CFB pregame show will be in Columbia for the first time in a decade, illustrating how far head coach Shane Beamer has taken South Carolina since assuming the role in 2021.
Tennessee sports betting apps have Notre Dame at +2000 to win the national title in the first year of the expanded 12-team CFP.
