ESPN’s “College GameDay” will be in South Carolina at noon on Saturday for the Gamecocks’ matchup with No. 16 LSU.

McAfee goes viral picking South Carolina over Kentucky
McAfee went viral during Week 2 of the college football season when “College GameDay” was live from Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the top-10 matchup between Michigan and Texas. During the picks segment, McAfee endeared himself when picking the SEC matchup between the Gamecocks and Kentucky.
“I’ll take the cock,” McAfee said, adding he already knew the “GameDay” crew was coming to South Carolina for this week’s game against LSU.
“I saw that,” Beamer said of McAfee’s pick. “I was obviously at the stadium when you were making the picks, getting ready to go. But you endeared yourself to a lot of Gamecocks, pretty much all of Gamecock nation. When you made that pick, there were a lot of people who had your back and are excited to see you here tomorrow because of that pick.”
