Auburn vs. Tennessee Showdown: College Gameday Crew Reveals Their Winning Picks!
ESPN’s College Gameday launched its basketball season on Saturday at Neville Arena, where the No. 1 Auburn Tigers faced off against the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers. The show highlighted key matchups, sparked a lively debate about college coaches’ interactions with officials, and included an interview with Auburn’s head coach, Bruce Pearl. Pearl shared updates on Johni Broome’s injury status and introduced his new granddaughter during the segment. He hinted that Broome would likely play, pending a final decision after pregame warmups.
The highlight of College Gameday, however, was the hosts’ predictions for the Auburn-Tennessee game. All three analysts—Jay Williams, Andraya Carter, and Seth Greenberg—picked Auburn to win. The game tipped off at 7:30 p.m. CT at Neville Arena.
