Week 2 of the college football season is about to ramp up on Saturday afternoon, with a loaded slate of games leading into the epic primetime showdown in Austin between the No. 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 4 Texas Longhorns at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium.

ESPN College GameDay was on the scene for today’s big game, with Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban sharing their thoughts on the upcoming slate of games.

When it came time for the highlight of the day, all eyes were on Pat McAfee to see whether he would turn heel in front of the Texas crowd and rock with the Buckeyes.
