ESPN's College GameDay analysts make Clemson-LSU predictions

---

The No. 4 Clemson Tigers host the No. 9 LSU Tigers under the Death Valley lights on ABC Saturday night (7:30 p.m. broadcast start).

ESPN's College GameDay crew weighed in with their picks Saturday live from Columbus for the Texas-Ohio State game:

Desmond Howard: Clemson

Pat McAfee: Clemson

Nick Saban: Clemson

Lee Corso: LSU

Kirk Herbstreit is on the call for the game and did not offer a prediction.

(With it being the retirement show for Lee Corso, they didn't have a celebrity guest picker like they typically do).
