“College GameDay Crew picks No. 11 BYU at UCF”

No. 11 BYU Football is back in action and looking to defend its undefeated record. The Cougars are two-point underdogs over the Knights, even though UCF has lost four straight games. On Saturday morning, College GameDay picked BYU-UCF. Below are their picks along with comments.

Desmond Howard: BYU

Regarding the betting line, Desmond Howard said: “The disrespect from the Cougars, you have to stop it. That's what's going to happen. They will stop UCF's running game, which is the best in the conference, and then force it.” They throw it and create turnovers.

Nick Saban: BYU

“I agree with you. I think BYU is fully committed to this.”

Pat McAfee: BYU

“I think BYU can handle what UCF is good at. The sportsbooks are doing it the way they are, I'm very confused. Give me the Mormons to get another great victory.”

Kyle Schwarber (guest pick): BYU

“I will choose BYU in this case.”

Lee Corso: UCF

“I beat BYU in 1979. I’m going with my hometown team UCF.”

Kirk Herbstreit: BYU

“This BYU team, like your team in 1979, may be a team of destiny. They keep finding ways to win games late. I think Jake Retzlaff finds a way again today in a close game.”

BYU and UCF kick off at 1:30 p.m. Mountain Time and 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

This is a huge game for BYU's Big 12 title implications. A win over UCF would put BYU in sole possession of first place.
