ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit announced Thursday on the Pat McAfee Show that Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, will be the guest picker for this Saturday’s edition of College GameDay. In Week 8, Texas football will be facing Georgia the No. 4 ranked team in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Scheffler is a Texas Longhorns alumnus and recently won a gold medal for the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The golfer won his second major of his career at the 2024 Masters and also won five other tournaments this season.

The “College GameDay” crew of Rece Davis, former Alabama football coach Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard and Herbstreit will set up shop on the South Mall of Texas’ campus to preview the Longhorns’ SEC showdown with the Bulldogs. The show will start at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
The Week 8 meeting between the Longhorns and Bulldogs will not only feature two national championship-caliber programs, but also two former Saban assistants in Texas’ Steve Sarkisian and Georgia’s Kirby Smart.
Scheffler was also embroiled in controversy earlier this year after being arrested while on his way to Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship on Friday, May 17. The charges were eventually dropped.
