College GameDay Fun Facts:
- This year, Corso is 3-7 in headgear picks, his worst record through 10 weeks since 2002.
- He has never picked Baylor – and if he goes with the Bears – it will be the 54th different mascot head Corso has donned.
- GameDay has yet to originate from the site of the No. 1 ranked team in the country this year. It’s the first time since the show has traveled each week that we have not seen the No. 1 team in the country in the first eleven weeks of the season. (In 1999 it had not been to the site of No. 1 thru 11 weeks, but there two weeks the show did not travel).
- This is the 30th time GameDay has been to the site of an Oklahoma game. The Sooners are 20-9 in the previous 29.
- Corso is 10-4 when picking OU and 4-9 when he picks against the Sooners.
