College Gameday is headed to Tuscaloosa, who do you want to be the guest picker?

Alabama’s dramatic win over LSU means it still controls its place in the Playoff chase, but it also gives even more importance to Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.

With a top four showdown coming, ESPN will set up its traveling tentpole show College Gameday in front of the Walk of Champions at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It is the first time the show will visit Alabama this year, and the second time the Crimson Tide will be involved after Gameday went to Oxford for Ole Miss-Alabama. It starts bright and early at 8 a.m. Central and Alabama’s crowd turnout will be measured against the massive turnouts at the Grove or Miss. State’s Junction, and especially against North Dakota State.

While Alabama usually has a drop-off in the week following LSU, the Crimson Tide are 9-3 in the past five years when Gameday is in town, per AL.com.

No game time has been announced yet but it will most likely be 2:30 p.m. Central on CBS.

Now all we need to know is who the guest picker will be. Last season against LSU, MLB pitcher Jake Peavy was the picker, but this season will hopefully be more exciting. Maybe they’ll finally convince Joe Namath to do it.

Who would you like to see as Alabama’s guest picker?
