College GameDay is in Oregon this week for one of the most anticipated matchups of the college football season so far. The No. 3 Oregon Ducks (5-0) will host the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

In the leadup to the game on Saturday, College GameDay has coverage for fans looking to celebrate football for the entire day. The show airs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on Saturday. In the leadup for the game, it became public knowledge that Lee Corso, a staple of College GameDay for decades, would not be traveling to Oregon.

Corso, a veteran broadcaster for many decades, is 89, so his health is not always in the best shape. He couldn't travel to Oregon this week for health reasons, but that did not stop him from making his signature pick.

Corso did not cater to the home crowd and instead picked "his first love" Ohio State to defeat the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Kirk Herbstreit relayed Corso's message on the show on Saturday morning.

Who is the guest picker for College GameDay this week?

Kaitlin Olson was announced as the celebrity guest picker for the game this week. Olson is an actress famous for her role in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" since 2005. She is a native of Oregon and attended the University of Oregon, graduating with a bachelor's degree in theater arts in 1997.

Who is favored to win the Ohio State vs Oregon matchup?

This game between Ohio State and Oregon will be one of the most competitive matchups of the first half of the college football season. Both teams are ranked in the top three in the nation, and both are undefeated.

Ohio State is the higher-ranked team with more dominant wins, but Oregon is the only team between the two to defeat another ranked team. The Ducks beat the No. 17 Boise State 37-34 on Sept. 7.

Heading into the game, the sportsbooks have Ohio State as a slight favorite. They give Ohio State -165 odds to win the game, and Oregon is a +140 underdog. The spread is only set at minus three in Ohio State's favor, so it is expected to be a close game until the end. Lastly, the total for the game is set at 53.5 points.
