PALMER: Who should be the Gameday guest picker?

The college football world will center around Baton Rouge this weekend.

While LSU-Alabama isn’t the matchup of unbeatens it has been in the past, Saturday’s showdown likely means an elimination game for the first 12-team college football playoff. ESPN’s College Gameday has announced it will emanate from The Quad.

Rece Davis will host. Ben, Kirk Herbstreit’s golden retriever, will hang out. Pat McAfee will humiliate some student trying to win thousands of dollars kicking a field goal. Nick Saban will get booed. Lee Corso will don some headgear.

All of that is for certain. The guest picker is not.

Since I had some time on my hands Sunday, I fired up the ol’ think machine and workshopped some ideas for that guest picker. Here are my five best ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

Shaq has already made his annual game. Alex Bregman did the honors in 2018. Perhaps Angel Reese gets a shot. But the list is the list. Burrow has to be the choice. Either way, campus is going to be abuzz for Saturday’s action.

Do the right thing, ESPN.
