Week 3 of the college football season is here, and ESPN's premier preview show is back to pick college football's most intriguing games.
This week, "College GameDay" was in Oxford, Mississippi, for Lane Kiffin's highly anticipated return to Ole Miss and for Saturday's SEC showdown between the No. 7 LSU Tigers and the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels. It was the show's third-ever appearance in Oxford, Mississippi, and its first since the 2021 season. Saturday was also the seventh time that the show has highlighted Ole Miss, and the 38th time LSU has been featured.
This week, the usual lineup of Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban made their picks for this week's biggest games, including Auburn's Week 3 SEC showdown with the Florida Gators.
This week's celebrity guest picker was actor Morgan Freeman, a Mississippi native and noted Ole Miss supporter. Freeman has appeared in over 100 movies and has won three major awards, including an Oscar and Screen Actors Guild Award for his role in the 2004 film Million Dollar Baby. He is also known for his roles in Driving Miss Daisy and The Shawshank Redemption, as well as his numerous narration roles.
