Who did Lee Corso pick today? Week 9 ESPN's College GameDay headgear pick

For the first time in College GameDay history, Lee Corso and the rest of the crew are in Indiana.

The College GameDay crew is covering the game between the No. 13 ranked Indiana Hoosiers (7-0) and Washington Huskies (4-3). Corso has a special connection to Indiana as he was the coach of the Hoosiers from 1973 until 1982. So, it should not be a surprise to hear whom he picked to win.

Who did Lee Corso pick in Week 9 ESPN's College GameDay?

Lee Corso did not make any surprising picks ahead of the game between Indiana and Washington. He said:

"It's obvious who I'm picking."

Corso then proceeded to pick Indiana to win the game. It was an emotional homecoming for Corso, who returned to Indiana for the game on October 26. That day has special significance as this day was named after him by the Bloomington Mayor.

After picking Indiana, Corso then made one of the most memorable headgear picks of all time by wearing a hat commemorating Indiana's Holiday Bowl win over BYU.
