ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso appeared during Monday night’s College Football Playoff Championship game via a hologram in commercials from sponsor AT&T.

Corso visits with ESPN college football analyst David Pollack in two spots highlighting AT&T 5G HoloVision.

In one, Pollack dons the oversize headgear Corso usually wears to indicate who he thinks will be a game’s winner. In the spot, Pollack wears a Corso head.

AT&T has been the presenting sponsor of the College Football National Championship for seven straight years. 

ESPN will be showing Alabama play Ohio State for the title using a MegaCast format incorporating 14 total presentations across ESPN Networks.

ESPN’s College GameDay is going country as Brad Paisley will visit Morgantown, W.Va., on the campus of West Virginia University on Nov. 1.

The native West Virginian will join host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard on the patio of Mountainlair Student Union. While this is only GameDay's second visit to Morgantown, Corso will be making his 250th headgear pick and looks to improve on his 171-78 record to date. Corso first officially donned the headgear on Oct. 5, 1996.

ABC will televise the game at 3:30 p.m. as the No. 20 Mountaineers face a tough challenge from the explosive 10th-ranked Horned Frogs of TCU, 

For his part, Paisley, who is headlining his Country Nation World Tour, becomes the third guest picker from the musical realm this season, following Kenny Chesney from the show's Sept. 27 stop in Columbia, S.C. and pop star Katy Perry's appearance at The Grove in Oxford, where she correctly prognosticated the Rebels' upset of Alabama's Crimson Tide. 

“Anytime we can get a star of Brad Paisley’s stature on the show it is a huge win" said ESPN senior coordinating producer Lee Fitting. "On top of that, Brad is a West Virginia native and huge Mountaineers fan. GameDay’s been on a great run this season with

This week, ESPN is turning to men who have made their living luring ducks to make a call about whether Tigers will beat Rebels in Death Valley on a Louisiana Saturday night.

College GameDay’s road show has set up shop on the Parade Grounds at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. There, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Dave Pollack, Desmond Howard and Lee Corso will be joined by Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame (pictured with Mike the Tiger) and his brother Jase as the guest pickers, with the No. 24 Bayou Bengals hosting No. 3 Ole Miss on ESPN at 7 p.m. (ET).

In past stops at Baton Rouge, GameDay went Tiger with LSU athletes Olympian LoLo Jones and The Beard, pitcher Brian Wilson, sharing their pigskin predictions.

Instead on Oct. 25, GameDay is playing the home state card. Robertson was born in Bernice, graduated from The University of Louisiana at Monroe and lives in West Monroe . He’s CEO of Duck Commander, the Robertson family’s duck call and outdoor business. Jase is COO of Duck Commander and is credited with creating its triple threat call.

Perhaps GameDay would have earned more gridiron credibility if the picks were made by Willie and Jase's father, Phil, the inventor of the patented duck call and founder of the multimillion dollar Duck Commander enterprise. He also played quarterback ahead of one Terry Bradshaw at Louisiana Tech back in the day. Phil Robertson, though, totes a certain amount of baggage in the wake of the anti-homosexual remarks he made in a GQ magazine interview that resulted in A&E briefly suspending the Duck Dynasty leader.

Of course, none of the Robertsons has the current appeal or perkiness of Katy Perry, who was GameDay’s guest picker during the pregame show's visit to The Grove in Oxford, Miss. on Oct. 4, when the pop star presciently prognosticated that Ole Miss would top Alabama.

Perry, though, was not embraced so readily in Baton Rouge, though.  Three weeks ago, her message to LSU fans was let them eat corndogs as she picked the Auburn Tigers over the ones favored on the bayou. There were any number of signs in the crowd that depicted the foodstuff in the singer's mouth. For his part, Willie pointed out on GameDay that corn dogs are not widely construed to be among Louisiana's culinary delights.

For the record, the GameDay guys and the guest pickers picked LSU to geaux over Mississippi.

NFL quarterback legend Brett Favre was a no-show for ESPN’s College GameDay in Tallahassee , Fla.

Host Chris Fowler said Favre was unable to make the trip to Florida State, where the Seminoles will host Notre Dame on ABC tonight at 8 p.m. (ET) in a battle of unbeatens, due to a mechanical problem with his flight.

That left Ken Griffey as the sole guest picker, and while he lacked the freewheeling style of Katy Perry on Oct. 4 at The Grove in Oxford, Miss., the future MLB Hall of Famer was more sympatico with GameDay doyen, Lee Corso.

For the record, Griffey matched Corso’s selections on seven of nine games, including two that favored geography. Most notably, The Kid, an Orlando resident, played it Sunshine State smart, picking Florida over Missouri and the Seminoles over the Fighting Irish.

On Saturday Corso, noting that his first live rroad show selection (pictured) for ESPN dated to FSU-ND undefeated matchup on Nov. 13, 1993, donned a wig redolent of the black Seminole hairdress and a red baseball cap, signifying his belief in Jumbo Fisher and his beleaguered quarterback, 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.

Corso, a FSU football and baseball player and pigskin coach back in the day, didn't mention that he missed with his Seminole nod as the Irish prevailed 31-24, in South Bend that day.

Griffey, who was in Tallahassee because his son Trey's Arizona Wildcats are on bye week, recused himself from making a call on the game involving Zona's Pac-12 compatriots and rivals, Stanford and Arizona State, saying he wished there was a way that they played long enough, so both “could lose.”

Neither has the current appeal or perkiness of Katy Perry, but ESPN has reached out to a pair of sports legends as its guest pickers for College GameDay.

Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard and crew are encamped in Tallahassee, where they will be joined by NFL ironman QB Brett Favre and The Kid, MLB icon Ken Griffey, Jr.

The duo will be asked to weigh in on their picks in the battle of unbeatens: No. 2 Florida State and No. 5 Notre Dame. ABC will televise the action on Oct. 18 at 8 p.m.

Favre, who beat FSU as a member of Southern Mississippi in 1989 and created headlines for sexting former Seminoles student Jenn Sterger when both were New York Jets employees in 2008, and Griffey follow Jonathan Papelbon to the GameDay stage. Last week, the Mississippi State alum was resplendent in his Mississippi State red suit and bulldog in Starkville, a far cry from the lack of decorum he displayed late in the 2014 MLB season.

As ESPN raised the parlor game concerning whom will become the latest addition to GameDay’s guest picker roster, it will be hard-pressed to find the combination of pretty, sass and fun Perry displayed at The Grove on Oct. 4. Among other Perry pearls, her message to fans of the LSU Tigers: let them eat corndogs.
