College GameDay Crew picks No. 19 BYU vs. Houston

It took place on Saturday morning College game day The crew voted no. 19 BYU vs. Houston. Below are their picks along with comments.

Desmond Howard: BYU

“BYU lost hard to Arizona State last week, but I think the Cougars are rebounding. I think they’ll beat Houston.”

Nick Saban: BYU

“I like the Cougars too. I think Houston is struggling offensively. I think BYU has improved on defense. I think that will make the difference.”

Pat McAfee: BYU

“I’m also going with BYU because of their second-half performance against Arizona State last week. I think they’re back.”

Tyler Toney (Celebrity Guest Picker): BYU

“We’ve been touring for five years now and every year there’s a show that precedes our show in Dallas, and that’s not Houston. Salt Lake City fans are on another level. Give me BYU.”

Lee Corso: BYU

Kirk Herbstreit: BYU

“Houston fired its offensive coordinator midway through the year. They don’t have the offensive firepower to stay at BYU.”

As most BYU fans know by now, two more games on Saturday will determine whether BYU advances to the Big 12 Championship Game or not: Arizona-Arizona State and Kansas State-Iowa State. BYU must lose to either Iowa State or Arizona State to find a path to the Big 12 championship game.

College GameDay picked both games, and no one on the set picked either of those two games to go BYU’s way. Everyone picked both Arizona State and Iowa State as winners.
