ESPN College GameDay Crew Picks and Predictions for Week 5

College GameDay came to us from Lincoln, Neb., this week for the Week 5 college football game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers.

As always, the College GameDay crew made its picks and predictions for the biggest college football games of the weekend. This week’s celebrity guest picker, actress Gabrielle Union, is a Nebraska native and big-time Husker fan. She was joined on set by her husband Dwyane Wade.

Typically, the highlight of the show is when host Lee Corso makes his pick by donning the head of the team's mascot he is picking. He went with Brutus and the Buckeyes, who are favored by 17 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The game is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. EST from Memorial Stadium.
