Who did Lee Corso pick on ESPN's College GameDay today?

Way too early predictions for the 2021 college football season with B/R's Adam Kramer

Lee Corso has been many things — a college football coach, Burt Reynolds' college roommate and America’s favorite college football lovin’ crazy grandfather on ESPN GameDay where he makes his 'headgear picks' each week on location during College Football Saturday.

We tracked all of Corso's 2020-21 picks right here. The coronavirus pandemic didn't allow for the usual crowds, but the ESPN crew still traveled to gameday locations each weekend.

Below, we've also included a history of all of Corso's picks from 2018 and 2019.

Track all of Corso's 2020 picks below:

CFP National Championship Game: Alabama vs. Ohio State

For the final game of the 2020-21 college football season, Corso predicted Ohio State to defeat top-ranked Alabama in Miami for its second CFP national championship. 

College Football Playoff semifinals: Alabama vs. Notre Dame — Clemson vs. Ohio State

The GameDay crew was on site at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, host to the nightcap of this year's College Football Playoff semifinals. Corso went with Alabama over Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl Game and Clemson over Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl to set up yet another Alabama-Clemson national championship showdown.

Week 16: Clemson vs. Notre Dame (ACC Championship)

Corso opted for the Tiger head and picked Clemson to get revenge on Notre Dame in their rematch for the 2020 ACC Championship. 

Week 15: Army vs. Navy

A former Navy defensive backs coach, Corso couldn't help but pick the Midshipmen for the seventh straight year to beat the Black Knights in the Army-Navy game.

Week 14: Coastal Carolina vs. BYU

Ahead of an impromptu meeting between two undefeated teams, Corso picked BYU to spoil Coastal Carolina's first time hosting College GameDay.

Week 13: Alabama vs. Auburn

For the 85th Iron Bowl, Corso picked the top-ranked Crimson Tide to beat the No. 22 Tigers in Tuscaloosa.

Week 12: Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State

Corso failed to predict the correct Masters winner last week, but he's still a perfect 9-0 in college football headgear picks this season. He'll look to get the streak up to 10 with his choice of Oklahoma over Oklahoma State.

Week 11: Augusta National Golf Club (Masters)

College GameDay was live at Augusta National Golf Club in Week 11 in honor of Masters Week. So, naturally, this week's headgear pick wasn't for a college football game, but for who would win the Masters. Corso took Brooks Koepka to take the Green Jacket.

Week 10: Clemson vs. Notre Dame

Corso pointed out that it's been 43 years since Notre Dame beat Clemson. That didn't lead him away from picking the Fighting Irish over the top-ranked Tigers in this top-4 matchup.

Week 9: Penn State vs. Ohio State

Corso picked No. 3 Ohio State to top No. 18 Penn State in a premiere Halloween night showdown. The coach hasn't lost a headgear pick yet, entering Week 9.

Week 8: Minnesota vs. Michigan

With the Big Ten back in play, GameDay was in Minneapolis for Week 8 ahead of No. 18 Michigan vs. No. 21 Minnesota. Corso went with the Wolverines.

Week 7: Alabama vs. Georgia

Corso not only donned an elephant head in his pick of Alabama over Georgia — he then stepped onto a giant (fake) elephant set up in his Orlando backyard.

Week 6: Clemson vs. Miami (Fla.)

No. 1 Clemson was Corso's choice in Week 6, marking the first time he went against Miami in three headgear pick opportunities this year.

Week 5: Georgia vs. Auburn

Corso picked Georgia ahead of its 125th all-time meeting with SEC rival Auburn. Part of his rationale? Corso claimed that Auburn doesn't allow him to wear the school's mascot head. "I've got no other choice."

Week 4: Miami (Fla.) vs. Florida State

Corso went with Miami for the second straight week, picking the Canes over rival Florida State.

Week 3: Louisville vs. Miami (Fla.)

Ahead of the only ranked matchup of the weekend, Corso rocked the head of Sebastian the Ibis, picking Miami to beat host Louisville.

Week 2: Wake Forest vs. Clemson

For his first headgear pick of the season, Corso went against host Wake Forest in favor of preseason No. 1 Clemson.

Week 1: Bristol, Connecticut (ESPN Studios)

The GameDay crew didn't hit the road for Week 1 of the 2020 season, but they still made their picks for Saturday's top games, as well as Monday night's BYU-Navy Labor Day matchup. There was no headgear pick this week, but Corso did reveal his CFP predictions: Alabama beating Clemson in the title game, with Notre Dame and Oklahoma also making the semifinals.

Track all of Corso's 2019 picks below:

College Football Playoff semifinals: LSU vs. Oklahoma — Ohio State vs. Clemson

Lee Corso and the College Gameday crew didn't have the usual crowd behind them but that didn't stop them from making their picks for the College Football Playoff semifinals. Corso went with LSU and put on the headgear of Ohio State to set up a projected LSU vs. Ohio State national championship.

It was Gameday's first time in Ames, Iowa, and Corso went with the home team. Iowa State is the pick in this in-state rivalry game.

Corso's first headgear pick of the year — from Disney World in Orlando — went to Florida.

In 16 picks during the 2018 season, Corso went 9-7 with his headgear picks. He started the season 3-0, and finished by correctly calling Clemson's championship win, but the middle of the year was a rough patch.
