ESPN’s College GameDay is not in Corvallis this weekend for one of the largest games in Reser Stadium history. Instead, the traveling pregame show went to Harrisonburg, Virginia, to highlight the unbeaten James Madison Dukes.

Still, the UW-OSU game had a heavy presence on the Saturday morning broadcast. The group talked about the game early — Pat McAfee called Corvallis a beautiful place; “never been, but I wish I could,” he said — and then gave their picks for the showdown at the end of the show.

Here’s how the panel picked:

  • Desmond Howard: Washington
  • Pat McAfee: Washington
  • PFT Commenter (guest picker): Oregon State
  • Lee Corso: Oregon State
  • Kirk Herbstreit: no pick, calling the game

Washington enters the game unbeaten and ranked No. 5 in the country. But the Huskies are an underdog to the 11th-ranked Beavers.

Oregon State is coming off a 62-17 beatdown of Stanford last week while Washington downed Utah, 35-28, in a back-and-forth thriller.

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. PT on ABC.
