College Football
The official start of the college football season kicked off last night. The game of the week, and the location of Saturday's ESPN College GameDay set, is Columbus, OH, where Ohio State will take on Notre Dame. Typically, the GameDay guest picker is a celeb with an affiliation to one of the universities but not this time. Rapper Jack Harlow will hype the crowd with his game picks. Don't forget to watch for Peloton instructor Jess Sims, the newest addition to the GameDay team. LET'S DO THIS
