Two times this year, Lee Corso donned Brutus Buckeye's head to pick Ohio State to win the big game.
The latest came last Saturday, when Corso moved to 16-6 in "headgear picks" that involve Ohio State, after the local team vanquished Michigan in double overtime.
College GameDay and ESPN pulled out all the stops, too, starting the broadcast five hours before kickoff. While it seemed like overkill to some, ESPN is laughing all the way to the bank.
From espnmediazone.com:
College GameDay Presented by The Home Depot from Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 26 (9 a.m. – noon ET), was the show’s most-watched regular-season episode on record (382 episodes), garnering a total live audience of 2,682,000 average viewers.
ESPN’s TV audience (2,614,000 viewers) is the largest for the show since November 24, 2007, from Kansas City – which includes all episodes since the show expanded to three hours in 2013 – and is the second best for the program. Saturday was the most-streamed episode of GameDay, earning an average minute audience of 68,000 viewers.
Saturday’s College GameDay began with a special start time in advance of the epic showdown between Michigan and Ohio State, with the extra two hours (7 a.m. – 9 a.m.) delivering a total live audience of 885,000 average viewers.
As per usual, the Buckeyes bring the ratings.
Stewart: Will the 2017 college football slogan be, "Make the SEC great again?" Has Nick Saban scared away coaches from wanting to take jobs in the SEC? The league clearly is lacking star power in the coaching ranks, and it seems that coaches around the country would rather coach elsewhere else then deal with Saban and the empire he has built. Do you think the league is filled with mediocre coaches as a result of Saban?
That’s an interesting theory. I don’t know how much it’s been put to the test. Besides Jimbo Fisher and Tom Herman, there’s not a long list of accomplished coaches who’ve recently turned down SEC overtures. But there’s no question the quality of the coaching roster in that conference has slipped recently.
Part of that is attrition. In the last year alone, a Hall of Fame coach, South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier, and a four-time Big 12 or SEC division champ, Missouri’s Gary Pinkel, both retired. Both Georgia (Mark Richt) and LSU (Les Miles) ran off mainstays who’d won at a very high level for a very long time. Vandy’s James Franklin parlayed his historic success there for Penn State.
As Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel wrote this week, the most detrimental Saban ripple is that he’s affected several schools’ hiring choices. Florida (first with Will Muschamp, now with Jim McElwain), Georgia (Kirby Smart) and South Carolina (Muschamp) are all trying to topple Saban by hiring his assistants. Smart in particular is basically trying to recreate Tuscaloosa in Athens. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. But an underwhelming 7-5 debut season has many wondering why Smart was Georgia’s one and only after firing Richt.
Finally, there’s this: As much as SEC schools like to throw around money, they’ve also hamstrung their ability to make a change when warranted. Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin makes $5 million a year yet has failed to finish above .500 in the conference the past four seasons, but it would cost the school $15 million to fire him. So, status quo. Tennessee’s Butch Jones has become a walking train-wreck, but it’d cost nearly $11 million to fire him. So, he’ll be back to play for another Championship of Life.

List is all types of trash. This isn't even Saban's best Bama team.
Would Oregon hire a black coach
The state of Oregon has a Rooney Rule type rule for College Coaches, so they have to interview one at least

If we go 15-0 this season, you can make a strong argument, although I believe the 2012 team was the best.
