You know it's a massive game when the two most-attended college football shows are on site before the game. That's the case Saturday with ESPN College GameDay and the folks from the Fox Big Noon Kickoff show on the State College campus for the titanic clash between Ohio State and Penn State.

We've already looked at who College GameDay's ever-growing team picked to win the game, and now it's time to see how former Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer and his colleagues predicted the game.

Here's who each member of the Fox Big Noon Kickoff show picked to win Saturday afternoon's collision between Ohio State and Penn State.
