In front of a crowd of hundreds of Utah Utes fans — and some Oregon Ducks fans — the College GameDay crew made their predictions for who would win Saturday’s huge Pac-12 matchup that could have championship implications.
Pat McAfee and his crew, including former Ute Steve Smith as celebrity picker, were split on their predictions during their morning show, which was broadcast live on the University of Utah campus.

The analysts split their picks. Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit both picked Oregon, while McAfee and Smith picked Utah.
Earlier in the show, the analyst colloquially known as “Stanford Steve” picked the Ducks to win, prompting a chorus of boos from the Utes faithful.
Utah is a plus-6.5 underdog to beat Oregon, per most sports books.
