Which Celebrities Were Best Guest Pickers on ESPN College GameDay?

Brian LeighDec 6, 2014

College football's regular season is over, and with it went the best part of ESPN's College GameDay: the celebrity pickers. 

The show will broadcast from Annapolis, Maryland, for Army-Navy next weekend and again during bowl season, but without another full slate of games to pick from, we will not get the immaculate weirdness of, say, Bill Murray body-slamming Lee Corso.

No celebrity picker topped Murray's showmanship during 2014, but that was to be expected. Nobody ever will.

Jase and Willie

Our standings are bookended by Jase and Willie Robertson, the Duck Dynasty brothers who appeared at Ole Miss-LSU in Week 9.

Willie made a point of fading every pick Jase offered—save their LSU Tigers—which backfired when it turned out Jase went 9-0. Jase ended up with the best record of the season. Willie ended up in the cellar:

At least it made for decent TV.

Katy Perry Had a Day

Teen idol Katy Perry had herself a day in Oxford, Mississippi, nailing seven of her nine predictions.

The only games she missed were Tennessee over Florida and Oklahoma over TCU. The former was an ugly 10-9 Gators win that easily could have gone to the Vols, and the latter can be forgiven since Perry admitted that lust for Sooners quarterback Trevor Knight swayed her pick.

It's all good, though. Two losses were not enough to spoil Perry's first college football experience. She followed up her day by having herself a night, and Oxford's bar scene might never be the same:

Legend Status: Unlocked.

Sorry, Male Musicians

Do not—I repeat, do not—invite a male musician to GameDay.

Chances are he'll make your team lose.

South Carolina lost when Kenny Chesney came for the Missouri game. West Virginia lost when Brad Paisley came for the TCU game. And Michigan State lost when Alice Cooper came for the Ohio State game.

Care to guess how many other home teams lost after hosting GameDay?

Exactly as many other male musicians appeared as pickers.

Nada.
