Kirk Herbstreit Accidentally Leaks 'College GameDay' Guest Picker for Week 8

Week 8 is packed with significant matchups across the college football landscape, but the biggest showdown takes place in Austin, Texas, where the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs will face off against the No. 1 Texas Longhorns .

ESPN's "College GameDay" will be on-site for this highly anticipated SEC clash.

One of the highlights of each week is the announcement of the Celebrity Guest Picker for the show. While the official reveal is typically made towards the end of the week, Kirk Herbstreit may have jumped the gun a bit during Thursday's " Pat McAfee Show " and inadvertently disclosed the guest picker.

This week, the honor goes to the top U.S. golfer and Texas Longhorns alumnus Scottie Scheffler , who has just come off a stellar PGA Tour Championship season marked by dominant performances on the golf course.

"I think it's Scottie Scheffler this week." Herbstreit revealed.

Scheffler, the latest Masters champion, will help set the scene for a monumental day of college football in Austin, Texas, alongside the stellar "College GameDay" crew. ESPN PR has noted that the show is on track for its best season yet.

Each week, viewership numbers continue to climb, and during Week 7, they set historic ratings for an October show while broadcasting from Eugene, Oregon, for the highly anticipated Big Ten showdown between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks.

Now, with another top-five matchup on the horizon, Herbstreit excitedly announced that Scottie Scheffler will be making his game picks in front of a passionate crowd of Longhorns fans on Saturday in Austin.
