2019-20 Season: College Gameday official preseason predictions!

This is the first year I can remember in which the College Gameday crew didn’t film an official preseason preview episode, and instead they decided to use the live Week 0 episode at Disneyworld to fill us in on their official preseason predictions.  I always post them so we can go back and have fun with them after the season (my preseason predictions are even worse), so let’s have some fun.  They had Michael Irvin on when making these picks so I’ve included them as well.

Week 0 2019: CFB picks are graded; results are in!

We only had two FBS games this week, and Gameday picked two FCS games to go along with it, so picks are very few but I’m here to grade them anyways.  I guess Corso wins it with a 3-1 record this week, and special guest celebrity picker Michael Irvin lost the week at 1-3.  He also predicted Miami will make the CFB Playoff so let’s all remember that in January.
