Week 3 of the 2025 college football is here, and you know what that means. Before a great slate of games gets started, ESPN's College GameDay gets the Saturday going. To close the show, the panel of analysts makes their picks for Saturday's key matchups.
The show as held in Knoxville, TN this week, as the No. 15-ranked Tennessee Volunteers are set to host the sixth-ranked Georiga Bulldogs this afternoon. Candace Parker was this week's celebrity guest picker, as the women's basketball legend joined Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, and Kirk Herbstreit at the GameDay desk. The picks are in.
College GameDay crew loves LSU against Florida
When making their picks, each analyst picked LSU to defeat Florida on Saturday night in Death Valley. College football fans are also loving the Tigers, as LSU received 89% of fan vote. In total, it's a clean sweep for LSU.
Sometimes that can spell bad news for teams. It seems that every week the panel all picks the same team only for them to lose. Then, screenshots of the picks make the rounds on social media. Hopefully that is not the case for LSU tonight.
The SEC Nation crew also loves LSU in tonight's matchup, as only former Florida QB Tim Tebow picked the Gators, which is not surprising.
Between SEC Nation and College Gameday, everyone picked the LSU Tigers EXCEPT #Gators legend Tim Tebow.

The Tigers are favored by a touchdown and are looking for revenge after Florida won last year's matchup by a score of 26-17 in Gainesville. Kick-off is slated for 6:30 p.m. CT and the game will be braodcast on ABC.
