  "account": "ESPN's \"College GameDay\" will cover the highly anticipated match between No. 14 Tennessee and No. 1 Texas on September 26, 2022, as the two teams face off for the first time as SEC opponents. As the pregame show airs live from Knoxville, Tennessee, there are various potential celebrity guest pickers for \"College GameDay\" to consider. Morgan Wallen, a globally recognized country-pop music artist from Sneedville, Tennessee, recently released Tennessee-themed merch, which includes a shirt stating \"Tennessee vs. Texas\" dated Sept. 26, 2022. Kenny Chesney, a Knoxville-born country music star, could also be a popular choice due to his strong ties to Tennessee, even though he is not a Tennessee graduate. Johnny Knoxville, the chaotic co-creator of the \"Jackass\" series, would bring an energetic presence to the show, while wrestling star Bianca Belair could make a repeat appearance for \"College GameDay,\" given her strong Tennessee fan base. Lastly, despite his allegiance to his family, Peyton Manning's nephew Arch Manning, who plays as Texas' starting quarterback, might be another option for \"College GameDay\" to consider.",
