    After being absent for the past few weeks, Lee Corso has returned to the "College GameDay" set. His comeback comes just in time for one of the season's most anticipated college football games, featuring the Texas Longhorns against the Georgia Bulldogs.

    Before the game started, Corso and Kirk Herbstreit predicted several college football games, including his upset of the week. Corso stated that he is choosing the Illinois Fighting Illini to upset the Michigan Wolverines.

    "Illinois in an upset," Corso said on a video posted to Herbstreit's Twitter account. "You know why? It's a big game for Illinois, and they aren't going to lose a chance to beat Michigan."

    The Illini are technically the higher-rated team, but it is still considered an upset because the Wolverines are favored in this matchup. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Michigan is a -4.5 point favorite with a money line of -184.

    Illinois has a 5-1 record this season, with their only loss coming against Penn State, where they fell 21-7. The Illini recently triumphed in a thrilling game against the Purdue Boilermakers, winning 50-49 in overtime.

    The defending national champions have a record of 4-2 this season, with losses to Texas and the Washington Huskies. However, Michigan is coming off a bye week and hopes to address its quarterback situation, as it has utilized three different players in that position so far this season.

    Michigan and Illinois will play on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on CBS.
