Week 6 of the 2026 college football season is here, and that means ESPN's "College GameDay" was back in full force to preview all of Saturday's action. With a top 10 matchup in the SEC, they made the choice to head to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to watch the Georgia Bulldogs play the Alabama Crimson Tide.

It is a massive game for both programs, who are looking to show that they can not only win the SEC, but the College Football Playoff. Kirby Smart is just 2-7 against Alabama as Georgia's head coach, but they did crush them in last year's SEC Championship Game.

The usual crew of Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee were joined by guest picker Bryce Young to pick the top games of the weekend. He won the Heisman as Saban's quarterback in 2021, before the Carolina Panthers took him with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
