Steve Spurrier’s ‘College GameDay’ picks turned out fine, since he gave himself an extra one

The former South Carolina coach was assigned nine games and somehow picked 10.

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Steve Spurrier was on ESPN’s College GameDay after he resigned from South Carolina earlier in the week, and he was brought up to be the guest picker. His picks:

  1. Northwestern over Iowa: “They’re the only team that’s beat Duke this year!” [Incorrect]
  2. Ole Miss over Memphis [Incorrect]
  3. His alma mater Florida over LSU, of course [Incorrect]
  4. Texas A&M over Alabama [Incorrect]
  5. In lieu of picking Notre Dame vs. USC, he just said, “I like the Gamecocks over Vandy.” For the record, the ESPN graphic said he picked Notre Dame. [Correct? He’s making a joke about South Carolina being the real USC, see. But his USC won too, so he somehow gets credit for two picks here? Sure.]
  6. Utah over Arizona State: “[Under Armour CEO] Kevin Plank would fire me if I picked against an Under Armour school [South Carolina, like Utah, wears UA gear].” [Correct!]
  7. Washington over Oregon [Incorrect]
  8. Florida State over Louisville [Correct!]
  9. Michigan over Michigan State: “I want to walk out of here today, so I’m picking Michigan.” [Incorrect]

That’s a record of 4-6, but whatever. Bring him back again next week anyway.
