College GameDay: See Lee Corso's headgear pick for Alabama vs. Georgia (and a surprise upset call!)
Corso's pick for Alabama-Georgia wasn't even his most shocking take on Saturday
ESPN’s College GameDay returned to Atlanta on Saturday where the SEC Championship Game between No. 1 Georgia and No. 8 Alabama is getting ready to kick off.
The Bulldogs (-5.5) could lock up the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff with a victory. The Crimson Tide could potentially steal their SEC foe’s chance at a national title if they pull off the upset.
Both teams have looked exceptionally strong down the stretch this last month, so the only question left before kickoff is which side would get the ever-important backing of Lee Corso on GameDay.
The former coach didn’t have any tricks up his sleeve for this one. Just a surefire pick.
"We're still in Georgia aren't we? Give me the Dawgs!"

But Corso going chalk with his headgear pick doesn’t mean he’s not rooting for chaos on Saturday.
In a pre-show chat with Kirk Herbstreit, the coach predicted one of the biggest underdogs of the day would not only cover the spread, but win outright.
That’s right. Corso is riding with the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game.
