ESPN picker pattern suggests possible 'GameDay' guest for Tennessee-Texas
"College GameDay" follows a fairly predictable pattern when selecting a celebrity guest, though ESPN has thrown some curveballs in the past.
As College GameDay heads to Knoxville for Tennessee's SEC opener against Texas on September 26, speculation is surging over who will serve as the show's guest picker. ESPN has a pattern when choosing celebrities, usually selecting those with a clear connection to the host school. However, past curveballs include Timothee Chalamet appearing for the 2024 SEC Championship Game despite not having any affiliation with either school.
Matthew McConaughey, a Longhorns fan, is currently off the list. Charles Barkley, Tennessee's first celebrity guest picker, appeared in 2004 for a game against Auburn. Peyton Manning, Bianca Belair, Candace Parker, and Kenny Chesney are also potential candidates, while former Texan Rick Barnes remains a possibility. Comedian Arch Manning's uncle, Arch Manning, could also be an option as Texas' starting quarterback.
