ESPN College GameDay is in Athens, Ga. this weekend, where the ninth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will host the fifth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Last week, GameDay was in Eugene, Ore. for the top-10 showdown between Oregon and Indiana. New York Liberty<\/a> star Sabrina Ionescu was invited onto the show<\/a> as one of the “celebrity pickers” — and though her prediction of a Ducks win over the Hoosiers did not come true, the New York Liberty guard maintained her impressive record as a guest prognosticator.<\/p>\n

To this point in the 2025 college football season, Ionescu is the most accurate celebrity picker to feature on College GameDay<\/a>. Her seven wins from 10 tries last week are the most among any of GameDay’s guests this season, including podcast host Theo Von (4-3), Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young (a 5-3 record) and the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup-winning forward Matthew Tkachuk (4-2).<\/p>\n

Oregon graduate Ionescu, a four-time All-Star and a WNBA champion in 2024, even correctly guessed that unranked Texas would defeat sixth-ranked Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, showing some serious faith in Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning — not to mention some serious ball knowledge in general.<\/p>\n
