College GameDay switched things up this week and landed in Boone, North Carolina for Appalachian State’s Week 3 matchup against Troy after the Mountaineers took down Texas A&M last week. And it looked like a blast.
App State fans showed up big time and seemingly bought out all the posters in Boone just for the occasion. It was a big day that also included three students winning free tuition.
And then when it came time to make picks for the day, Lee Corso didn’t dare pick against the Mountaineers, some of the best agents of chaos in all of college football. They’re 14.5-point favorites over the Trojans, per Tipico Sportsbook.
“It’s the home of the giant killers, the App State Mountaineers,” Corso said.
“Troy, no chance. Troy, no chance,” he added while putting on App State’s mascot’s head.
We here at For The Win usually recommend not picking against App State, ever, so good for Corso.
Corso also went with Miami over Texas A&M for his super dog pick, Arizona over North Dakota State, Cal over Notre Dame, Penn State over Auburn, Mississippi State over LSU, Oklahoma over Nebraska, Michigan State over Washington, USC over Fresno State and BYU over Oregon.
