Let's not forget that Tennessee needed overtime to beat Pittsburgh and beat a marginal Florida team at home by 5. They're not unstoppable just because Alabama has a terrible secondary.
And yet there still isn't anyone behind them that should be ranked higher.
Until Oregon beats down UCLA.

Absolutely in rankings, because of that win. But what would Vegas set the line at if Tennessee traveled to the Horseshoe, Big House - or heck - Autzen next week? So I'm saying this win might mean Alabama and Tennessee are both closer to the pack than it means Tennessee is 2019 LSU.

Also in town will be Josh Pate, host of 247 Sports' Josh Pate, host of the Late Kick podcast/YouTube show. I believe this is his first trip out West for a game.

Even then, Oregon would have no case to be ranked ahead of Tennessee. For starters, the Ducks have a loss, and regardless of Bama’s “struggles,” let’s not pretend UCLA is in the same realm as them.

lol, no. Even if Oregon beats down UCLA (which I don't think will even happen) Oregon still shouldn't be ranked higher than Tennessee.

As much as I generally prefer a beautiful sunny day for GameDay (at least once the sun rises, which will be after 7:30 am) and the game itself, I'd rather there be a bit of talk about the rain than the smoke. The air should be nicely cleared out by Saturday morning. The National Weather Service currently predicting 100% chance of "showers" in Eugene on Saturday, btw.

Who’ does everyone want to see as the celebrity picker?

I would love to see Sabrina, Uncle Phil or Kaitlin Olson.

Sabrina seems like the obvious choice. Devan Long would be a cool dark horse though. Actor now and was a great player too.

I didn't know that about Devan. I once convinced him that it was more efficient to drink keg beer from a coffee pot than a Dixie cup. That was a bad night for Ian Crosswhite, lol.

His show is pretty funny. He plays a ghost of a Viking.

If he wasn't in Canada filming Ghosts, he'd be one of my picks to be the celebrity guest.

I watched a recording of GameDay before I watched the recording of the game or knew the outcome. I actually started to have a good feeling about the game when David Pollack picked UCLA. It really seems to me that he just doesn't like Oregon for whatever reason. I seem to recall that he picked UW over Oregon when GameDay visited Seattle in 2013. Ducks won 45-24.
